If you think that poetry has to be sweet and romantic, or at least serene, think again. Step into the dark world of Edgar Allan Poe. Well known for his spine-tingling, spooky stories that are even more chilling than today's horror films, Poe also wrote poems that expressed the shadowy regions of his mind. More than 20 of his poems and selections from his stories are accompanied by mood-setting, full-colour drawings and notes that make his work easier to understand.

-Recommended and with a foreword by Dana Gioia, head of the National Endowment for the Arts

Both comprehensive and concise, The Poetry Dictionary is a unique and useful anthology of the art.John Drury's Poetry Dictionary is no dreary list of defined terms to cram for your poetry final. It's a work of art in itself, written in Drury's engagingly lucid prose, liberally spiced with examples from the world's best poets. Curious about sequence? Drury gives a clear definition of the term, followed by Katha Pollitt's "Vegetable Poems" in sequence 1-5. Forgotten the rules of the villanelle? Drury explains the form, gives a little historic background, and presents examples by Jean Passerat, Edwin Arlington Robinson, Dylan Thomas, Weldon Kees, and James Cummins. Never has a poetry dictionary been so browsable, so erudite, and so engaging. --Stephanie Gold

Question by Answers: Reference...?

In my recent job my boss was very mean to me but she
would always do it in a nice way. I quit a couple months
ago and now I am looking for a new job and I need experience
to be able to work where I want to apply for. Should I put them
down as a reference? After I quit, and she wasn't very happy
with it? Do they usually even call the references?




Best answer:

Answer by Steve D
They will probably call your old employer to make sure you worked there and for how long. Most companies no longer give out job references or information other than verification of employment due to a great number of lawsuits against them. by not listing them, one of two things can happen - 1) the gap in your employment history may look suspicious or 2) they may call an employment ver ification service and find out you worked at your previous job anyway, which will look even worse.

Personal
by madaboutasia

Question by hardboiled: How personal should school teacher and counselors get with students?

What are your experiences with good and bad teachers/counselors? What characteristics do the sucessful ones have? Are they more, or less personal? Do they tell you personal things about themselves and make connections with your life or do they stick to what their job is and make it interesting in some way?

Would you like them to judge you personally? Or do like it when they are more objective and point things out about yourself?

What type of method have you found that works for yourself and students?




Best answer:

Answer by ~Sara~
I think that teac hers and councelors should get personal to a certain level. When they tell the students some personal things about them or their lives then the students feel more comfortable and at ease with them and they seem more trustworthy. I think that there is a line that is not to be crossed though as far as student teacher relationships. It's different with each individual. I think we as humans are sometimes too quick to judge people based on their personal information right off the bat. Of course we don't like to be judged, but it happens. I like the more objective approach.
