Well probably I was fed up with concrete poetry. There was a lot of bad concrete poetry and besides it was confused with visual poetry which was completely different.
Besides the actual reading in class of many poems I would suggest you do two things: first while teaching everything you can and keeping free of it teach that poetry is a mode of discourse that differs from logical exposition.
The sort of poetry I seek resides in objects man can't touch.
A poet's work is to name the unnameable to point at frauds to take sides start arguments shape the world and stop it going to sleep.
I think no one could have made peace in Bosnia besides Holbrooke.
In remembering the appalling suffering of war on both sides we recognise how precious is the peace we have built in Europe since 1945.
We extend our hand towards peace. Our people are committed to peace. We know that peace entails painful compromise for both sides.
Bob Marley performed the 'One Love Peace' concert in Jamaica with the two different warring political sides. There's always been that in black music and culture in general. It's no surprise because black music is such a reflection of what's going on in black life. It's not unusual for hip-hop.
Peace and justice are two sides of the same coin.
Be truthful nature only sides with truth.
I think that the romantic impulse is in all of us and that sometimes we live it for a short time but it's not part of a sensible way of living. It's a heroic path and it generally ends dangerously. I treasure it in the sense that I believe it's a path of great courage. It can also be the path of the foolhardy and the compulsive.
