Sailing Alone Around the Room Group Discussion

Some questions to discuss:

1. How can a title change the impact of a poem? Which of the poems you read stand out in this regard? Would you change any titles?

2. Favorite poem(s)? What exactly did you like?

3. Poem(s) you disliked? Why exactly?

4. What do you notice about the author's style?

 
When looking at a specific poem you might want to ask yourself:
(writinghood.com)

1.          Who is speaking? What do you know about him/her?
2.          What is being said?
3.          How is it said?
4.          Where does the poem take place? Where was it written?
5.          When does the poem take place? When was it written?
6.          Why? This question should be asked lastly, because if we bog ourselves down with the why while we are reading or just after reading, then we might create meanings that are not intended…or come away lacking understanding or enjoyment of the poem…which may cause us to judge it negatively…or abort further interest in it…causing us to be less open to other poems.
