Teachers and Students Need Culturally Relevant Education

Each September, my ninth-graders insist they do not like poetry. And each June, they leave my class as fledgling poets. 

They come to not only enjoy reading poetry but also creating it because they see themselves in the poems they read, like those by contemporary Black American poet Terrance Hayes.
