I have done so many, many, many times and students always rise to the occasion. It's good to challenge them and it's always good to teach someone as smart and as generous and truly good as Ander is. I have taught Carly Sach's difficult and gorgeous book, Sarah Hannah's Inflorscence, even some of these amazing old monologues and a story written entirely in negation that I just tracked down. I have taught poetry in fiction workshops and stories to poetry classes. I am about to teach Jenny B's One Love and have taught many of the challenging poets including you, including yours and the students, though they struggle with the density and difficulty always say and produce interesting work. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and congratulations to you, BTW.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8487146.post-46803526719977881592008-01-15T10:07:00.000-05:002008-01-15T10:07:00.000-05:00No, no, it's a good thing!
