soul of the humane classroom that recognizes the validity of individ-

Cultures are literally media that promote growth. Cultures are soil
and that is the physical note on which we wish to end this introduc-

sound and rhythm and speech, of muscle and voice box and vision and
breath and pulse. It affects us physically when we speak it and listen to
it. Without that physical basis there is no poetry. As we move through
the many aspects of the art of poetry, let us not forget our bodies. All
the moves are physical motions.
