About this title

Synopsis

Risking Intensity is a book about drawing on the self―to study poetry, to write it, and to share it. Judith Michaels approaches the subject at both the personal and practical levels, opening the world of poetry to her classes through carefully planned strategies. Poems by students and teacher illustrate each topic. We also hear the cadences of published poets―of Keats, Wordsworth, Clifton, Thomas, Komunyakaa, Basho, and others.
