Taking 'new' first years for poetry
I found little points of reference -
no Eliot or Ginsberg, even Sylvia
was missing. (One asked how to spell
Pound ...) They knew Leonard Cohen
but could only quote songs. I retreated
to Shelley and Keats - they'd seen
the movie, they acknowledged that.
I broke for tea and cake. Next, perhaps,
I'll try footy club songs - they're bound
to know them ...
