Getting Wild with Leonard

Book Talk first.

Unit handout. No textbook. Return The Kite Runner.

Discussion:
What do we think of, when we think of "The Wild?" 
Think of the last wind storm...think of a crazy night... think of whirlwinds of emotion... think of huge concerts and crazy people and...................

What do we think of when we think of poetry?
What do the two share in common?

I didn't always like poetry. Until I came across Batter my Heart Three Personed God. What did I see and hear and feel in it?

There's a storm inside us all. The sounds. The feelings. We are poetry!
