Masters as Mentors: The Role of Reading Poetry in Writing Poetry Proal Heartwell
Emily Dickinson once wrote, "If I feel physically as if my head were taken off, I know that is poetry." Upon reading these words, Village School seventh grader Eleanor Unsworth replied, "If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I run around screaming, ‘Ahh! Where’s my head?!’" Voices from the Middle, Vol. 10 No. 2, December 2002
