Why Poetry?
Poetry, according to
Wordsworth, is "the breath and finer
spirit of all knowledge." It's not
just for the English department. As
an educator, you know how important
it is to keep your students engaged
in what you're teaching. Poetry can
be an invaluable tool for making
history, philosophy, religion, and
even the sciences "come alive"
through the personal experiences of
individuals.
See how the poetry published by Time
Being Books can help illuminate your
subject matter.
Time Being
Books in the Classroom
Time Being Books poetry
is a natural fit into any
course of study. We offer 94
titles, 24 authors, and 17
general categories of books,
covering subjects such as
the Holocaust, creativity,
war and politics, the
environment, cultural
exploration, and more.
If you’ve found your
students have difficulty
(and sometimes an aversion
to) reading contemporary
poetry, Time Being Books
offers a way to change all
that. We offer a real
alternative to conventional
collections of poetry:
-
Time Being Books
titles are actually about
something. They read as
novels, tell stories,
develop characters, and
take you on a journey
with the narrator.
-
Each poem draws
from those
preceding it, leading the reader from beginning
to end.
-
Our books and the
stories they weave draw the
reader in, share
experiences, and arouse
interest and understanding.
Browse our entire
catalog, either by
author
or by
theme.
There you’ll find an excerpt
from each book, chosen to
give you an idea of
its style and content.

Given my previous experience
with the service learning
and research project that I
incorporate into this
course, I'm certain that my
students will eagerly engage
with the subject matter of
these poems. I have a
penchant for poetry and like
to find "non-threatening"
methods of putting it on my
syllabus; these poems
contain all the poetic
elements that English
professors "appreciate," yet
should be easily understood
by my pre-dominantly
non-English majors.
