The latest news from Australian Poetry LTD,
announcing amongst a host of
other, no doubt valuable initiatives:
Mentorships – A
new range of mentorships will be offered to provide one-on-one guidance for
serious poets.
School workshops
– A range of workshops for both students and teachers will bring poetry into
schools.
I stopped at "serious poets".
Like the term "emerging writer" it makes me laugh, but then I suspect
that means I'm not a serious poet, but I was truly bedazzled by the thought
that Australian Poetry LTD, in its
evangelical zeal, is about to "bring
poetry into schools".
This may come as a surprise to most English
teachers and their students who were under the (obviously misguided) impression
it was already there?
