Yonkers, Fall 2007
The poetry of place was explored by reading the work of great poets and by exploring the students' memories and imaginations. A map-covered bookmaking activity, as well as a collaborative book including all of the place poems, capped off this course.
Most, but not all, of the poems were about place. The class made a book of all the poems, and one student made a gorgeous illustration for the cover. They named the book Poem River. Also, each student put together a book of his or her own poems and used maps to make covers.
