When I taught high school English, hoping to inspire students to continue reading poetry outside the classroom, I used e.e. cummings since his unconventional approach appealed to their teen-age rebelliousness. I couldn't choose a favorite poem of his if I tried, but your post inspired me to reread several of them (available online). Thank you again.Arlene Dellorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06077411606585700138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-12477146491837494712009-04-06T16:52:00.000-04:002009-04-06T16:52:00.000-04:00Is this an event in Blogdom, too?
