In today’s episode, Jamie, Natalie, and Rachel analyze “The Mower” by Philip Larkin. The conversation starts by Natalie asking, “What do you notice?” The poem then leads to discussions about grief, nature, punctuation, imagery, and kindness. Jamie, Natalie, and Rachel also consider the best way to follow-up close readings and analysis in the classroom. In this impromptu analysis, the hope is that you would be inspired to tackle poetry with your students or on your own.
Today at school, consider this: Read a poem. What do you notice?
