Teaching Caribbean Poetry will inform and inspire readers with a
love for, and understanding of, the dynamic world of Caribbean
poetry. This unique volume sets out to enable secondary English
teachers and their students to engage with a wide range of poetry,
past and present; to understand how histories of the Caribbean
underpin the poetry and relate to its interpretation; and to
explore how Caribbean poetry connects with environmental issues.
Written by literary experts with extensive classroom experience,
this lively and accessible book is immersed in classroom practice,
and examines: * popular aspects of Caribbean poetry, such as
performance poetry; * different forms of Caribbean language; * the
relationship between music and poetry; * new voices, as well as
well-known and distinguished poets, including John Agard (winner of
the Queen's Medal for Poetry, 2012), Kamau Brathwaite, Lorna
Goodison, Olive Senior and Derek Walcott; * the crucial themes
within Caribbean poetry such as inequality, injustice, racism,
'othering', hybridity, diaspora and migration; * the place of
Caribbean poetry on the GCSE/CSEC and CAPE syllabi, covering
appropriate themes, poetic forms and poets for exam purposes.
Throughout this absorbing book, the authors aim to combat the
widespread 'fear' of teaching poetry, enabling teachers to teach it
with confidence and enthusiasm and helping students to experience
the rewards of listening to, reading, interpreting, performing and
writing Caribbean poetry.
