Choosing poems


I'm choosing poems for my lit course. Every Friday is going to be "Poetry Friday" when we take a break from the work of the novel and dip into some great poems.

Choosing poems is a tough proposition, because I sit down with a book of poetry and start reading---Today I was reading Lucille Clifton's Blessing the Boats and Chrystos' Not Vanishing. Two such amazingly different writers, who make you feel so much with words.

I realized today that Lucille Clifton writes a lot of poems about her dreams. I want to start doing that!
