Last week in class(this month only I’ve got two weekends in a row) we spent some time getting to know each other — we’ll be, at least theoretically, together for two years — and I of course mentioned that I was a poet. Mild interest, some inquiries, that’s all.
My class is 11 women all interested in becoming elementary school teachers (it’s a BA with a complementary EE minor) and one lone male with a deep and abiding interest in getting the BA and then getting the hell out. So I’m already a couple ways odd man out here.
This week…
one woman in the class Googled me in the intervening week, came in and said, “Hey! You’re famous!” which caused a stir. (I quickly explained that “slam poet famous” — and I don’t think I’m even really THAT — is the approximate level of fame accorded to the average employee of the month at a moderate sized accounting firm.)
More seriously, the professor this week ACTUALLY changed the syllabus to include a video about poets for our discussion on lives in historical context. It’s a new guy; he came in knowing I was a poet which means he spoke to the instructor from last week. He said point blank that he changed the video because of me.
I feel a little weird here for even feeling a little weird. Am I ego-obsessing? Is this freakish self centeredness on my part?
And if not: what does this mean for the class going forward?

Ha! This made my night. More slam egos could use a little bit of this self-awareness.

I think it’s great. It’s embarrassing, like when my students google me. I tell them (some classes) I’m a poet, and they want to hear stuff (all classes – word gets around), which I eventually get around to, but I make sure they understand about my “fame” as well (I’m best known as an organizer), and I push hard to show them works by others much more than my own.
So yeah, I think it’s all a good thing, even if it kinda seems awkward. I echo everyone’s sentiments so far.

not a fame story, but….
a young lady at urbana this past thursday said to me, “hey you perform at the nuyorican!”
to which i nodded yes.
“did you ever get a chance to meet miguel piñero?”
to which i nodded yes, he’s my daddy. ok not really.

Re: My humble opinion, too.
I have the great fortune to be both a Mom and an Aunt.
My niece just began teaching in September, math.
My nephew is about to begin college and wants to also be a math teacher. Both brilliant young people. Both claim no skills in English. The idea of poetry makes them squirm.
My children are in elementary school and both have a natural gift for poetics. However, I don’t see any of the teachers attempting to make poetry fun. Nor do I see any attempt to teach the kids anything other than trite rhyme schemes…if poetry is taught at all.
I offered to talk to the kids about poetry but the idea was dismissed. I think if they learn young that there is more out there than snooze-a-roo poetry the interest in both poetry and literature in general would increase.
Thanks for the back up!

My humble opinion, too.
yes, especially for teachers. Every person in my department, when i taught high school english, was *afraid* of poetry and would only teach it in little pre-scripted bites mangled from the company textbook. Worse, yet, they had no idea what to do with the kids who wrote poetry.
People need to see it and hear it so they know it is a part of life, just like music and trees and grocery shopping.

My humble opinion
The class showed an interest,something to be excited about, which in the grand scheme of things probably doesn’t happen for them everyday. The professor took it and ran with it. Is it a little freaky? For you I am sure it is. But just think, some of those people may not have shown an interest in poetry before, or if they did may have thought of it as the stale, head nodding, academic assignment kind. They may have read it for class but never been excited about it. Now, especially if they have an interest in teaching, they will know that poetry can be fun and exciting and pass that along to their students.
So, it is a good thing. Maybe you could suggest that the class be exposed to other slam poets as well so it won’t be so weird for you?

last year, i was intoxicated beyond belief and stumbling home from the midnight movie in omaha, when these two kids in a pickup slowed to take a look at me, then screamed, “YOUR/POETRY IS THE SHIIIIIIIT!!!” (we never decided whether he knew who i was or just that i was a poet) before peeling outta the parking lot.
i wanted a t-shirt, but i never made it.
no, i think your professors are being specatcular speakers and educators, adapting to their audience and your interests. huzzah.

You are obsessing a little bit, but it’s charming.
You exemplify a certain approach to / model of life and they find it interesting. Also, it somehow seems to fit the class.
When you can, share with them your insights and perspective and all will be cool.
