i've been compiling some select reading for my poetry class this fall, and i thought it might be useful to keep a catalog with links to the essays here. some i use for teaching and some i just like. the list will grow, but for now here are a few of my current-favorite essays on poetry, writing and the poetic life:
the four temperaments by gregory orr
why we wear masks by jeannine gailey
fear of narrative and the skittery poem of our moment by tony hoagland
notes from syntax and line, the sound of poetry, by robert pinsky
the most silent hour by cate lycurgus
against sincerity by louise gluck
disruption, hesitation, and silence by louise gluck
fragment, juxtaposition, and completeness by tony hoagland
a teaching philosophy by carolyn forche
