What I read last weekend:

• Is the Human Impulse to Tell Stories Dangerous?

Quotations:

This is something I live by, in my own teaching:

I do not teach anyone how to create poetry. I can help children recognize and respect their own poetry; I can show a student how to improve what is already written—and by improve I mean specifically how to bring the poem closer to the feeling the poet wishes to evoke.

-Audre Lorde
