YMB #8 Start with Wonder: A Conversation with Nicholas Ireland about Poetry
Nicholas Ireland, a father of two, teaches Humanities to middle schoolers at our local classical school. On this episode of the podcast, he tackles the subject of poetry.
Why is poetry important? What poems should I start with? What makes good poetry good? What if I don't understand poetry? What questions should I ask my kids when we talk about the poems we read?
Nicholas answers all these questions and more, plus gives us enough recommendations to keep us busy reading excellent poems for a long, long time. Enjoy!
