Teaching Poetry No poem
should ever be discussed or "analyzed" , until it has been read aloud by
someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading
it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the
sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it. All
discussion of poetry are, in fact, preparations for it aloud, and the reading of
the poem is, finally, the most telling "interpretation" of it, suggesting tone,
rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own
voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids
to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading of it or,best of
all, reciting it. I have come to think, in fact, that time spent
