The combination of theory and practice sets this book apart from other books, in addition to an original four-step method of making sense of poems. The book is divided into two parts: the first focuses on the critical reading of poems; the second focuses on the writing of poems, using different forms. Both work towards \"the bigger picture\" of developing students' ability to engage in respectful discourse and to view multiple perspectives as enriching rather than competing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSharon Discorfano has been a writer and educator for more than 20 years, with a M.A. in Literature from Georgetown University and years spent teaching at prestigious schools in Austin, Houston, and New York.
