Perception, Language and Excavation 
1) Memory and Language - Create a link between experience and emotion through poetic 
language. This establishes $at the starting point examines what is familiar. Keep in 
mind that what is familiar is often linked to hegative past experiences. Poetic language 
can help bring some intense personal thoughts and feelings to the surface. Be aw~re 
that this. risk always exists. 
A) "I remember ..... " 
B) "I don't remember ..... " 
2) lo.nguage- Poetic language can ~mploy quick bursts of energy and emoti~p..1(offerS 
youths an opportunity to explore the possibilities and limitlessness oflangriage ~~jt 
banks on hyperbole and "poe~c license" as paradoxically subversive yet redeeming 
· tools. Also, poetic language insi~ on transgression as a transformative medimn 
because it asks that the poet break down the rules and conventions of grammar. 
Coupled with these ideas, poetic language offers students a sense of "ownership", 
the development of a private language that speaks to them as individuals. It is a 
language invented by ea~h poet, not one that can be taught. As an instructor, you . 
are acting as a guide :qtore than you are as a t~cher. Poetry can only be brought 
to light, it cannot be taught in the conventional sense. 
3) Two Ways of Using Poetic Language-
A) Making music.,. Through the devices of repetitio~ and rhyme, poetry creates 
music, becomes a celebration of the primitive aspects of language. This rhythm 
can intensify .and reinforce meaning. · 
Note: Repetition is not just evident in one poem. It must be followed thro~~. a ... 
· body of work. Both instntctors and studen.ts should examine a body of work for 
repeated words, images, symbols and theme~ as they either consciously. or sub-
con~ciously emerge. 
B) Pai~ng Images - In my opinion, metaphor is the most powelful aspeci ~f 
poetry. Use of metaphor creates complex associative links between image 
and instinct, the eye atid the inner mind. A good ~t trusts his/her ability to' 
make metaphorical leaps in association. This process brings out the visceral 
impact of poetic language. 
Note: Ambiguity resides in the realm of metaphor. I am not so concerned 
that the image or, forthat matter, the poem makes complete or even partial 
sense. The work must speak most directly to what is needed. If letting go is 
needed, then the poem must reflect that abandonment imagistically. Some 
students' works occupy a place deep beneath the realm of concrete language, 
and often they are discouraged because they travel beyond our ability to compre-
hend their meaning. For me, every poem has meaning. That meaning may 
serve only the poet. 
4) Developing a Dialogue with Self- As students are developing and refining their 
craft, they shonld be encouraged to keep a journal of ideas, a place to put quotes 
fro~ poems that have inspired them. The journal should be used as a means of 
making students more self critical. They can use journals to critique their poems, 
to discuss the process of revision, and to reflect on their strengths and weaknesses. 
5) Po~tic Form -As your students are gaining ~ stronger use of language, they should 
e~plore the structure of their language. The physical layout of the words on the page 
says a great deal about the thought process that created it. Every poem is ·both a 
linguistic construct and a work of white space architecture. Students should ·be taught 
to use the negative space in their poems, tQ employ pauses and shape changes to 
re:f]ect the changfug tide of sounds, ideas and images. 
6) Revisiof!. - The benefit of revision is that it requires a re commitment to the work. Here, 
the yotmg poet must reenter the work. Revision builds the habit of discipline. At the 
same time yon'.re helping build and strengthen the intuitive process, you should also 
be aware that the process is significant. One arrives at something meaningful through 
a combination of enlightenment and reflection. Revision develops in your students a 
sense of obligation to the work. 
7) Limited Censorship -ln the workshops, I employ very little censorship. My students 
know the boundaries and seldom test these boundaries. The .~e--poeti.c process MUST 
take place on their terms. If their interest is to explore the depths'of their anger, then 
they must, within reason, be allowed to use poetic language that function_s best to 
flesh out that anger. Pain, confusion, anger, street life, violence and identity conflict 
are'the most coinmon themes and subjects presented in our workshops. 
J . 
Note: The act of empowering language is contingent upon our acceptance -of a 
poetic process that begjns with our students on their .terms. ~ langu,age is 
a disempowe.ring experience for these youths. It is presented to them in 
various negative shapes~ Attorneys and judges define them through ~gal jargon, 
staff psychologists hibel and categorize them, guards bade comtil8nds at them 
and they use puts downs on each other as a means of defense or assault. Poetic 
language is a dialogue with self, anq we must judge its use as little as possible. 
8) Vocabulary Building- As stude:Qts gain coJdjdence in their poetic abilities, they 
shot_rld be encoaraged to read'books'an~lnewspaperS ·with the intention of ex-
tracting new words. I tell my ki(ls to keep a notebook handy When they are reading

Last May at the finals of the National Geographic Bee held in Washington, DC, Alex Trebeck was getting concerned because he thought that he would be running out of questions for the ten finalists who came from throughout the country. Well, he did have enough, although it was close.
In the previous year it took just 80 questions to determine a winner of the Bee, an annual event sponsored by the National Geographic Society in which over five million kids nationwide from grades four through eight compete. In 1999, however, it took 140 questions before a winner was determined. In other words, the contestants answered an additional 60 questions before they were eliminated. This illustrates the continuing success of the Geographic\u27s efforts to improve geography instruction in the schools of this country
