A Defense of Poetry

This is a follow-up to our “Build Soil” Episode 

Poem: Dying Speech of an Old Philosopher, Walter Savage Landor  

Statement of the Whole:  Poetry has become the turf of the professional poet in our day.  Jason and Steve challenge teachers to bring poetry back into the front of every classroom, not just the English class.  Only by wrapping Truth in goodness and beauty will it find root in the souls of our students.  Just the right words will nourish the soul that is hungry for reality.
