Promotion Of Critical And Creative Thinking Skills Through The Teaching Of Poetry, Maura H. Albert May 1985

Promotion Of Critical And Creative Thinking Skills Through The Teaching Of Poetry, Maura H. Albert

Critical and Creative Thinking Capstones Collection

This curriculum project has developed gradually over the past fourteen years during which time I have been teaching in the public elementary schools. I have always loved poetry; therefore it seemed natural to make the reading of poetry a standard part of my curriculum even in my first years of teaching. As the years went by and my own increasing enjoyment in reading poetry was coupled with and encouraged by the positive reactions of the children I taught, it seemed only natural not only to read more poetry in the classroom, but, also, to begin to do some exploration of …

In A Land Of Plenty: A Don West Reader, Don West, Constance Adams West

Copyright-Free Books

Rooted in a particular place, the South and especially the Appalachian hills; in a long time, with poems dating from as early as 1932 and as late as 1981; and in the wide experience of a man who has been a farmer, lineman, preacher, organizer, deck hand, professor, and journalist. Land of Plenty is about America over the last half a century. It is about miners, freedom, racism, sharecroppers, family, love, loss, the South, laughter, labor, hunger, and heroism...Constance Adams West's spare illustrations make Land of Plenty still more beautiful." -Dave Roediger, Dept. of History, Northwestern U.

In Debt To Heritage Denmark, Hermansen-Jensen, Nysted, Otto G. Hoiberg, Reviewer, Elise Hermansen Olsen Jan 1985

In Debt To Heritage Denmark, Hermansen-Jensen, Nysted, Otto G. Hoiberg, Reviewer, Elise Hermansen Olsen

The Bridge

This is the life story of the late Elise Hermansen Olsen, as portrayed in autobiographical materials edited admirably by her still-active husband, Dr. C. Arild Olsen. It mirrors the various interrelated ways in which Elise "lived her Danish heritage" - by use of the Danish language in speech and song, by a deep appreciation of that country's literature, by perpetuation of its characteristic customs, and by living a life geared to its distinctive values.

Brancusi And His Poets, Joshua S. Mostow Jan 1985

Brancusi And His Poets, Joshua S. Mostow

Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature

This article examines four poems on the work of the modern sculptor Constantin Brancusi, written between 1922 and 1966 by four different poets: Carl Sandburg, Mina Loy, Jean (Hans) Arp, and Jiri Kolar. The purpose of the article is to explore how the varying poetics of these writers—the modernism of the Chicago Renaissance, Futurism, Dadaism, and Concrete poetry—influenced the poets' reception and interpretation of the sculptor and his work. This study approaches the relations between visual and verbal art through a semiotic methodology, and while the discussion of the poems takes the form of comparative literature, the main concern of …

Fort Hays Studies Series

This volume of Fort Hays Studies, then, does not appear in a vacuum; it is a contribution to a legitimate and growing corpus of works which explore a part of social history and literature too often ignored. The authors of the essays in this special collection have all participated in an interdisciplinary event at Fort Hays State University which, for lack of a more precise appellation, has been called the university Halloween Festival.
