As part of poet Robert Pinsky's Favorite Poems Project, she also trains English teachers interested in learning new ways to incorporate poetry into their curricula. She has also taught beginning teachers at Boston University's School of Education, where she is pursuing a doctoral degree in Education.  \nKaren is keenly interested in the intersection of literature and spirituality, especially as it regards teenagers' development of compassion toward self and others. She currently teaches at School-Within-a-School, an alternative democratic community of students and teachers that is a part of Brookline High School in Massachusetts.  \nIn addition to literature, Karen is passionate about music; she sings, writes songs, and plays guitar for the Boston-based band Edith. The band has produced two critically acclaimed CDs.  \nMarried to artist Morgan Cohen, Karen also loves being a mom to their two kids, Abby and Emmet. They live outside Boston, where they worship by reading spiritual texts (including poems, of course!) with their kids, going on lots of hikes, and sporadically attending a couple of different Unitarian churches and a Quaker Meeting.  \nACKNOWLEDGMENTS  \nEditors Susan Lawrence and Jessica York enriched this program with their contributions of additional activities. Judith Frediani guided the development throughout the process, and Nancy Burnett copyedited the finished manuscript.  \nTABLE OF CONTENTS  \nWORKSHOP 1: LISTENING AND SPEAKING WITH POETRY: AN INTRODUCTION............................. 16  \nWORKSHOP 2: SURPRISED BY BEAUTY...................................................................................................... 25  \nWORKSHOP 3: KEENLY OBSERVING NATURE .......................................................................................... 34  \nWORKSHOP 4: WHO AND WHAT GUIDES US? ........................................................................................... 46  \nWORKSHOP 5: FINDING OUR MISSION........................................................................................................ 58  \nWORKSHOP 6: CONSCIOUS LOVE: BETTER THAN ANY FAIRY TALE ................................................. 66  \nWORKSHOP 7: DIFFICULT TIMES.................................................................................................................. 77  \nWORKSHOP 8: ON A LIGHTER NOTE............................................................................................................ 89  \nWORKSHOP 9: FAITH FOR THE JOURNEY .................................................................................................. 98  \nWORKSHOP 10: YOU AND ME...................................................................................................................... 107  \nWORKSHOP 11: TRANSFORMATION .......................................................................................................... 122  \nWORKSHOP 12: POEMS ON STAGE: EXPLORING POETRY OUT LOUD .............................................. 132  \nWORKSHOP 13: PLANNING A POETRY SLAM .......................................................................................... 141  \nWORKSHOP 14: THE POETRY SLAM........................................................................................................... 149  \nWORKSHOP 15: TO TELL THE TALE ........................................................................................................... 153  \nNote: If you add or delete text in this program, you may change the accuracy of the Table of Contents.
