Produktbeschreibung
From Philadelphia to Erie, and from the shale fields to the coal mines, Keystone Poetry celebrates the varied landscapes and voices of Pennsylvania. This collection brings together the work of 182 poets who, with keen eyes and sharp language, commemorate the hometowns, history, traditions, and culture of the Commonwealth. Organized geographically, the poems traverse county lines, ancestral lineage, and thematic concerns--as well as gender, racial, and socioeconomic barriers. The poems in this collection seek to bring the reader close to home, while simultaneously fostering discovery of new places and a deeper understanding of all those who live in the Keystone state. Keystone Poetry also includes resources for teachers. Drawing from this collection of place-based literature, high school and college educators can use students' hometown experiences to make disciplines such as literature, composition, creative writing, history, geography, sociology, political science, and psychology more engaging and accessible. - To delve more deeply into class discussion, see "Let's Talk About It," a helpful aid for individual or group reflection. - To fuel creativity, access "Let's Write About It," a practical guide to inspire writers of all levels to create their own Pennsylvania journal.
