From the Heart: Poetry English First Peoples 12
Introduction to Poetry Poets explore the depths of their emotional experiences, dreams, visions, and reflections, and seek to find words that will let them share with others what they have found. Poetry comes in many forms, as many as there are poets willing to experiment with the play of placing words on a page, a piece of birch bark, or a rock face. Poems can be found in dance, song, carvings, and paintings. This unit is meant to draw you into the experiences and experimentations of First Peoples poets, to discover the impulse of their own creative powers, and to have you compose their own poetry. Let s listen to some traditional Coast Salish drumming, a welcome song. https://youtu.be/Zp3m7DFUSWc
