I just finished reading John Staunton’s “Langstond Shakespeake’s Harlem 41: Found Poetry, Found Pedagogy, and the Transpositions of Student/Teacher Inquiry.” This piece has a great “way in” to the mind of the reader through a personal experience from the author, which happened to be fairly humorous and memorable. I absolutely loved the merging of the poems together and found it especially funny that the author was so entertained by the destruction of this poetry.
After listening to him speak this week, I can really appreciate the voice and sense of humor behind this article. Without a doubt, John was one of the more meaningful speakers I have heard; everything he talked about had a practical purpose, not just theoreticals.
