Poetically Versed: “Woodchucks” by Maxine Kumin
"Her poems are not all idyllic images of happy summer days in the country. Some of the poems realistically depict life in the country (and, for a pampered city boy, some of the images are not easy to read), as in this verse, from Woodchucks, describing what happened after a failed attempt to plug the woodchuck holes, and gas them to death".

Poetry as the Heard Word
[h=2]Does hearing a poem change its meaning?[/h]First read the poem and ask yourself
the following questions: What was the poem about? Which images stood out? How would you describe the music of the poem? How would you describe the poet’s voice as you hear it in your head?
Then, after watching the video of that same poem,
ask yourself the same questions. Did your answers change? Were some ideas clearer than others when the poem was read? Did you notice anything new about the poem? How did the music of the poem and the poet’s voice compare to how you had imagined them?
