This is a revised and redesigned edition of what has proved to be a wonderfully practical and inspirational book for teachers.
KEEPERS OF THE FLAME is a big book of 322 pages and has been described as 'a cornerstone for teaching poetry in all its glory to today's students and …a guiding torch for teachers to follow as they lead their students in appreciation of others’ poetry and to the poet inside themselves'.
Its aim is to enable students to be comfortable as readers, and as writers, of poetry. Its strategies and techniques have proved to work equally well with highly gifted students and with a whole range of students at every level: gifted, foreign language, average and those with learning disabilities.
Every lesson has been field-tested in schools and include the concepts required by state and national Language Arts standards.
Six thematic units contain lessons for specific poetic structures, working tasks for students and a selection of original student poems, which may be used as examples.
An exciting seventh unit guides the creation of an anthology of your students poems so that each student may become a 'published' poet:
Unit I: Poetry Buffet. Sweets and Treats
Unit II: Animal Poems: of Dogs and Cats and Furry Things and Nature's Things With Gossamer Wings
Unit III: Poetry in Motion: Hobbies, Sports, Games and Dance
Unit IV: The Quilt of Human Relationships
Unit V: Spirit of America: Thoughts about Language; Spirit of America; Laughter, Fears and Tears
Unit VI: Facets of Nature
Unit VII: Student Anthologies; Poetry Reading; Thoughts about Reading, Writing and Poetry.

Scott Fitzgerald, Robert Frost, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Langston Hughes, Vachel Lindsay, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Amy Russell Lowell, Archibald MacLeish, Margaret Mead, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Ogden Nash, Edgar Allen Poe, Carl Sandberg, William Shakespeare, Karl Shapiro, Robert Louis Stevenson, Lord Alfred Tennyson, James Thurber, Mark Twain, John Updike, Walt Whitman, William Carlos Williams, Thomas Wolfe and others.
