Poetry for Left-Brainers from the National Writing Project
A beautifully written personal essay. Here’s an excerpt:
He discussed a commonly held student notion that “good writing is easy to understand.” Maybe there was hope after all. Alas, Blau proceeded to challenge that concept by proclaiming, “Good writing is hard to understand.” He reflected that the typical classroom student response is “It is above my reading level, it’s too hard, and I can’t understand it,” and many students give up. Oh, yes, he was describing me expertly.
