So next week in my poetry class, I am leading class discussion for one day. My topic is D.H. Lawrence.
When I signed up for the poems I would teach, I chose Lawrence because he was one of the few poets I had heard of. Now, I foolishly realize that his poetry, like his books, are all about sex. I am guessing this is going to be a test of whether or not I can really be a teacher. I have to overcome my anxious thoughts and push through.
One thing that helps is my obsessive need to be over-prepared. I have been prepping for this since the day I signed up in the second week of class. I have browsed through three books and multiple articles. I am not sure I could be more prepared for this class. Now it all comes down to the doing.
