Empowering Poetic Defiance

Empowering Poetic Defiance: Baudelaire, Kant and Poetic Agency in the Classroom Many strategies for incorporating poetry into non-poetry classes, especially outside of English and associated disciplines, appear to make poetry subservient and secondary in relation to the prose content of the course. The poet under consideration becomes a kind of involuntary servant to one or more prose authors, forced to "speak only when spoken to," and effectively prevented from challenging the ideas of the...

Birds can carry and deliver informed messages (sometimes literally on paper) without causing a direct threat. (Hitchcock's The Birds being one exception) or angelic spy -- a neither necessarily friendly nor nece...
