It's not often I get a laugh like that out of this otherwise excellent list but I nearly choked then

Thanks for your post. The closest I've got to that is trying to improvise text and action simultaneously but not mutually illustratively. One or the other often falls into a pattern. At the moment I'm writing for simultaneous voices and that's similar too.
As to whether any sensation "has" its image, well, they've fially managed to systematize smell but I think that synesthetic correspondences at least seem pretty idiosyncratic. [...]46_26Feb199716:43:07+0000(GMT)[log in to unmask]

Parts of Zukovsky's A Test of Poetry, which has some of the clearest and most inspiring POETRY-based ways of coming to poetry I've been able to use with students.
I also like to use other On-poetry works by poets such as Sir Philip Sydney's Defence of Poetry, Edith Sitwell's A Poet's Notebook, and Veronica Forrest-Thomson's Poetic Artifice for the more sophisticated. Conversely, Kenneth Koch has a children's poetry writing book which is not too unsophisticated for most students either. I forget what it's called. Something with an apple. I am also foolish enough to constantly throw all my [...]46_26Feb199717:04:03+0000(GMT)[log in to unmask]

(delurk) having taught poetry wrtg here in the u.s. ["who hasnt?"] ive given some thought to this as well. but i wonder, is an anthology the best choice? it seems to me that for the cost, one could teach several smaller, entire books. of course, with this approach, one loses the [...]52_26Feb199710:18:[log in to unmask]

Poets on writing IS expensive... but when is genuinely essential reading too expensive
I am looking at this from a slightly different perspective perhaps. Have a look some time at the price of books in IT and Computing. There are cheap books and most of them are not much use... sometimes you just HAVE to have<žÄ
