Description

A Poetry Pedagogy for Teachers generates imaginative encounters with poetry and invites educators to practice a range of poetry exercises in order to inform instructional approaches to reading and writing.

Guided by pedagogical principles prompted by their readings of Wallace Stevensâ€™ â€œThirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird,â€ Maya Pindyck and Ruth Vinz provide critical discussion of prominent literacy practices in secondary classrooms and offer alternative approaches to encountering a text.

They do this by way of experimental readings of Wallace Stevensâ€™ poem toward a set of thirteen pedagogical principles that anchor a pedagogy of poetic practices.

The book also offers invitational exercises, the authorsâ€™ own engagements with poetry practices, as well as student examples, visual modes of theorizing, and a gathering of relevant resources compiled by two classroom teachers.

This is a book for secondary English teachers, teaching artists, English educators, college writing professors, readers and writers of poetry â€“ both existing and aspirational â€“ and any educator interested in poetryâ€™s capacities to pedagogically inform their subject matter and/or literacy practices.
