"Home Burial"
  • I read the poem aloud, and then we started discussing questions people asked and discoveries they made.  And then we got into a complex discussion, somewhat along gender lines, about, basically, the way these two people are (or are not) communicating.  This was a great discussion, and we will continue it next week.
