| Abstract: | Urging teachers of poetry writing to better understand themselves as writers and readers, this book "interrogates" a strategy teachers might employ in reading and evaluating student poems. A thoughtful study of a teacher is presented while in the process of evaluating student poetry through the lenses of four different contemporary critical theories: New Criticism, reader-response criticism, deconstruction, and feminist criticism. Chapters in the book are: (1) Literary Theory, Composition Theory, and the Reading of Poetry Writing; (2) The Teacher as Writer, Reader, and Editor; (3) The Authority of the Text: Some Applications of the New Criticism; (4) Interaction and Assessment: Some Applications of Reader-Response Criticism; (5) Intentional and Unintentional Exclusions: Some Applications of Deconstruction; (6) On Becoming a "Resisting Reader": Some Applications of Feminist Criticism; (7) Reading the Course in Poetry Writing: Preparing Students for the Workshop; (8) Grading Student Poems: Adaptations of the New Criticism and Reader-Response Criticism; and (9) The Teacher's Many Selves: Negotiating the Course in Poetry Writing. (Contains 149 references.) (RS) |
