Special Education: Poems,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Special Education is a powerful collection of poems confronting American identity in the 21st century. In large part, it traces a new teachers poetic journey to understanding her work and herself. Mars poems, which move between free verse and received forms, between the I of her speakernarrator and the voices of colleagues, students, and the world around all of them, investigate a variety of topicshow love is expressed by doing something one hates for a partner who loves it, what a charging bear on a camping trip can reveal about gender, the failures of an education system as depicted through colors and images on a slideshow presentation.The collection closes on a speaker both more and less certain about her place in the world. Her hometown, as she gazes across it in Views, is changing dramatically as she asks, Why nostalgia / for a place that is still my place? By the poems end, having covered everything from the places where her grandparents died to the effects of the next big earthquake to luxury cars, the speaker has revealed herself to both be inside of and resistant to the machinations of systems that seem prepared to crush her students: education, racism, gentrification, ableism. What does life look like on an everyday scale against the churning of the world? In Special Education, Mar embraces this truth and, in poems that show us what we have yet to learn, employs both her systemic mind and poetic voice to confront the ugly little loves that the world makes of us all.
