BMOS English students read Sarah’s poem “Elegy with New England Roadkill” and had the opportunity to ask their questions about the poem to the poet herself. Students asked about repetition they noticed, color imagery, and whether the poem, a reflection on animal roadkill, was inspired by a specific event in the poet’s life. Students also asked a range of questions about writing; Sarah offered advice for managing writer’s block and taught students about one of her favorite poetic forms (and, incidentally, her namesake), the “ghazal.” The discussion with Sarah brought the course unit on poetry to a close and prompted students to extend their thinking about empathy, the theme of the course, to include humans’ responsibility to other forms of life.
