Abstract
Two of the poets, Donald Hall and John Ciardi, are familiar though not their poems, The Stump and The Shark. You don't recognize the other three poets or their works-Marcie Hans's Fueled, Phyllis Gotlieb's First Person Demonstrative, or Dick Higgins's teechur (see fig. 1). There is no comfort in the familiar here-no Dickinson, Keats, Hughes, or Frost, nor any other poets you studied in college. My class-well, they're a mixed group of good kids, most of the time, she tells you. They should have these read before class. Have fun! Now what? you think to yourself. What matters in a fifty-three-minute poetry lesson? Similes and metaphors? Irony? Tidbits of biography? Personal engagement? Fun?
