Ideas for LESSON PLANS
MIGHT COULD
by Anna Lena Phillips Bell
Bell contemplates meaningful companionship with one’s own body, the human family, and the natural more-than-human world.
Lessons:nature writing; sparking a playful tone in poetry; imbuing objects with meaning.
JULIA HUNGRY
by Hannah Louise Poston
Julia Hungry is part love-affair and part fencing match and unabashedly feminist, exploring the unease of domesticity, first in the intimacy of home then expanding to a global scale.
Lessons: how to craft and maintain a cohesive theme throughout a poetry collection; exploring social constructs through poetry.
TO WILDNESS
by Julia Thacker
In recipes, spells, odes and elegies, To Wildness conjures what has been lost and what remains. In this collection, the dead reside alongside the living. Ancestors roost in trees, having forgotten language, their coats inside out. Others sulk in the eaves, their ears clogged with clover.
Lessons: playing with time, merging past and present; writing a Southern Gothic; atmospheric writing.
