Really enjoyed those two videos. What a perfect set. Especially memorable for me are Lynda Berry's thoughts, on haiku (images), reflecting on the same lines in different settings, time-traveling poetry, memorizing poems, especially to music (who would otherwise think of looking for Gershwin rhythms in Emily Dickinson?) and poetry's connection with mental health.

Linda Barry's take on the importance of poetry - how it can time travel, that it's part of our mental health - makes so much sense. Lately, I've felt I'm losing the ability to memorize! But perhaps Dickinson's short poems... .

Love what Lynda says about putting poetry to music, and how that offers a whole other dimension of meaning. Poems are definitely dynamic entities, and she's right about how memorizing the words enables us to appreciate and understand them in new ways.jamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859083373087448194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91636461349673530.post-54002375862076705562015-12-11T09:34:51.011-05:002015-12-11T09:34:51.011-05:00"And we ignore it at our peril."

I had a colleague stop me this week & tell me that he's ready to 'do' poetry now with the class & do I have suggestions?

Each part, on its own, was gift enough. All three--my cup is overflowing! Music speaks to me so powerfully; hearing the Shakespearean sonnet sung moved me in a way no other form of recitation of that sonnet ever has. It's as if the words took on new life, new meaning, touching sensitivities (hitting soul-spots) I didn't even know I had. God bless you! And multitudinous thanks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08242799850857058817noreply@blogger.com
