Hannah Fahy wrote a new blog post Illiterate in Coding in the group
Digital Humanities: 3 years, 7 months agoI’m bad at math. A lot of people are bad at math, and there are lots of reasons for that, but as an English educator I want to focus on one reason, literacy. People tend to think of the English discipline when t […]

Hannah Fahy commented on the post, Not Poetry….?, on the groupblog
The Contemporary Poem 3 years, 8 months agoI am also really bad at writing anything that isn’t poetry. Fun fact, my college essay was a poem! I just took the lines out and made it a paragraph. I will never understand why I got into colleges with that! My […]

Hannah Fahy wrote a new blog post Underwater in the group
The Contemporary Poem: 3 years, 8 months agoIt’s spring break, and it’s past my bedtime, but I had to write this. I think my blog posts are getting crazier by the second, but stick with me here. What could I do to make my poetry sound like it’s under […]

Hannah Fahy wrote a new blog post Poetic Obsessions in the group
The Contemporary Poem: 3 years, 9 months agoI write a lot more than ever gets shown to anyone. I think that’s how it should be, not everything needs to make it to a final draft, the act of writing itself is good to practice. However, I’ve noticed what my […]

The Contemporary Poem: 3 years, 9 months agoMy very first class here at Geneseo in fall of 2016 was ENGL 203 Reader & Text: Adaptation & Discipline with Professor Harrison. The class was all about works of literature that are adapted over and over by other […]

Hannah Fahy commented on the post, Slang, on the groupblog
The Contemporary Poem 3 years, 9 months agoI think this would make such a cool poem! A poem made entirely out of slang terms for sex reminds me of the blonde joke poem we read in class. I hope you choose to write this!

Hannah Fahy commented on the post, Repressed memories?, on the groupblog
The Contemporary Poem 3 years, 9 months agoI think this is really interesting! I would love to read more on poetry as therapy. I think a lot of poets (especially those who write without the intent of being published) use poetry as a coping mechanism. […]

The Contemporary Poem 3 years, 9 months agoPlease write this poem!!!!!!! Education major to education major, I need you to write this! I often think about the absolutely ridiculous things my students said, and I taught 7, 8, 10, 11, & 12, so I can’t […]

Hannah Fahy wrote a new blog post Poetry in Pictures in the group
The Contemporary Poem: 3 years, 9 months agoI will admit that I am writing this without any research, but I wanted to get this idea down before I forgot it. In class today we talked about language, and someone brought up that people think in words, and […]

Hannah Fahy commented on the post, Happy Poems Just Don’t Happen, on the groupblog
The Contemporary Poem 3 years, 9 months agoI have struggled with this so much! I used to think that there just isn’t happy poetry. I’m not sure what it was that snapped or changed, but recently I’ve tried writing more upbeat poems. The poem I used for the […]

Hannah Fahy commented on the post, Tumblr “Vent Art”, on the groupblog
The Contemporary Poem 3 years, 9 months agoI would love to see how you apply this in poetry! I wonder what the order of operations would be. Find the “childhood item” and then write about it or write a poem and then transcribe it onto the “childhood […]

Hannah Fahy wrote a new blog post Writing In Someone Else’s Style in the group
The Contemporary Poem: 3 years, 9 months agoI mentioned this poem in a comment on a classmate’s post, but I want to write more about it! Taylor Mali’s “What Teachers Make” is within my top ten poems of all time. I highly recommend that every person listen […]

Hannah Fahy commented on the post, Schools Should Include More Modern and Diverse Poets in English Classes, on the groupblog
The Contemporary Poem 3 years, 9 months agoThank you for recommending “Please Excuse This Poem!” I have added it to my “books to buy” list. Something I’m really passionate about is Classroom Libraries; that list I mentioned is all books that I would want […]

Hannah Fahy commented on the post, Slam Poetry, on the groupblog
The Contemporary Poem 3 years, 10 months agoI rewatch “Somewhere in America” every couple of months because it never fails to hit me in the gut. I think as a class we should put on a poetry slam on campus or maybe we should just all get together and binge […]

The Contemporary Poem 3 years, 10 months agoDon’t you worry, I had never heard of Anne Sexton in tenth grade, then I did an entire project on her and her poetry. I love her so much, and I think she doesn’t get as much hype as she should!
I see what you […]

The Contemporary Poem: 3 years, 10 months agoIn all things I do, I’m and educator. It’s impossible for me to do anything without bringing education into it, so while I thought about what I could write this week, education came to my mind as it often does. I […]

Hannah Fahy commented on the post, Why Do I Do This?, on the groupblog
The Contemporary Poem 3 years, 10 months agoI continue to be unsurprising in how I relate everything to music. I think you should give a listen to the song “Just Exist” by Eliza and the Delusionals. In the lead singer’s words the song “is about the balance […]

The Contemporary Poem 3 years, 10 months agoThank you for the article! It was a really interesting read. I never mention my favorite genre of music because I don’t have one. I listen to a huge variety. It would be easier to say the only genre I don’t like […]

The Contemporary Poem 3 years, 10 months agoI wish we had a real poetry slam. I’m not an open mic type-of-person, and that is the only thing we seem to have much of. I haven’t heard of Boil the Frog, but that sounds so cool! I will look into it!
