Mrs. Carpenter’s Classroom Edit display name

My students become well-acquainted with the "old masters and mistresses" of poetry but it's time to bring new, contemporary, modern voices to their attention. Through careful reading and engaging discussion, we will delve into what it means to be living through some of today's most difficult circumstances. Two contemporary voices are Clint Smith and Jose Alvarez, writers who are changing the landscape of the power of poetry. This is the start of building classroom sets of poetry collections that address, through current perspectives, some of the many issues and struggles going on in the world today. These collections are recommended by the National Council of Teachers of English.
