Mentor Texts
Poets Using Paintings
The Great Wave: Hokusai by Donald Finkle

Starry Night by Ann Sexton
- Teaching Ideas
- Examine the repetition of color in these poems? How do different poets use the description of color to affect tone and mood?
- Have students make multimodal remixes of the poem to develop an understanding of using fonts and images in mixed media poetry. The two elements should always work to enhance the message, unless breaking the rules in the message.
- Many of the poets use repetition in some form? What connection does this have to the source image?
Poets Using Photographs
Knowledge by Natasha Tretheway (CW: Nude cadaver)
Much of Tretheway's work derives from images. Whether from pictures, documents, or memories these poems draw on snapshots of history. When you read the history of the image Tretheway used (CW:suicide, body image) the poem becomes more real.
- Teaching Ideas
- Have students look for elements of gender, power, and tone?
- Interrogate how Tretheway treats beauty. How does this treatment affect structure? word choice?
