Poems for those who don't like poetry,
By
This review is from: Punching Out (Paperback)
I teach developmental writing in a community college. I use the poems in this book to introduce my students to working-class poetry. Many have said, "Now this poetry I can understand." Poems like "Factory Education" and "Timers" and "Santino" really hit home with my students. They have experienced the same kinds of feelings while at work. The poems in this book are the kinds of poems that can open doors for students. Most poetry is too abstract for students -- especially students from working-class backgrounds. But students can see themselves and people they know in Daniel's work. After reading Daniel's work, most of my students are at least curious about poetry. I think that is important. If you can, find a way to use this book in a class.
