Reclaiming the Body: Teaching Modern Poetry.
Hansen, Tom
English Journal, v81 n1 p21-26 Jan 1992
Compares poetry to a dead body that teachers, like mad scientists, are trying to revive. Suggests that teachers stop trying to teach students to find the meaning in a poem but to simply accept the experience in a nonjudgmental, open way. Offers three activities designed to help students to explore poetry in their own way. (PRA)
