Please keep info organized, Thank You 
Joy Harjo’s (1994) poem, Perhaps the World Eats Here, is the model for teaching symbolism. In this poem, the kitchen table takes on symbolic meaning as the poet catalogues the events in life that occur around that piece of furniture. "It is here that children are given instructions on what it means to be/ human. We make men at it, we make women," says the poet.
Theme: Culinary arts - The world begins and ends at the kitchen table.
Genre: Narrative/ symbolism poem
Tone: jocular, comical amusing
Concrete:
we must eat to live
We chase chickens or dogs away from it
At this table we gossip, recall enemies and the ghosts of lovers.
Allusions:
Wars have begun and ended at this table.- alludes to conflicts and peaceful negotiations.
The gifts of earth are brought and prepared, set on the table - alludes to food and nutrition
Symbols: Kitchen table - source of life, the most significant furniture, cuisine
Imagery: metaphor - dreams drink coffee with us
Figures of Speech:
- place to hide in the shadow of terror. A place to celebrate the terrible victory
- At this table we gossip, recall enemies and the ghosts of lovers.
- while we are laughing and crying, eating of the last sweet bite.

Do your own homework.
Anyone pretty Familiar with Poets??
24.October, 2009
Yes, I have sadly yet inevitably procrastinated on my summer Literature homework. But I’m not going to blow it off- I just need help selecting a poetry book. For those who are familiar with a lot of poets, which one out of this list typically has shorter, easier to understand poetry? If there’s a good book of theirs you have in mind (has to be on the shorter side though), I would love any suggestions!
Maya Angelou
William Blake
Emily Dickinson
Robert Frost
Pat Mora
Naomi Shihab Nye
Anne Sexton
W.H. Auden
Gwendolyn Brooks
John Donne
Louise Glick
Toni Morrison
Octavio Paz
Kevin Stein
Jimmy Santiago Baca
ee cummings
T.S. Eliot
Joy Harjo
Pablo Neruda
Adrienne Rich
Walt Whitman
Pablo Neurda is AMAZING! His poems aren’t very long, but they are pretty complicated. You should try Macnolia (name of the collection) by A. Van Jordan. He is really great, and the book is kind of narrative, so every poem is related and tell the story of this woman’s life. It’s great. I highly recommend it. Good luck:)
