What do we gain reading together in the classroom? Poet and master teacher Christine Perrin joins us to reflect on poetry as a shared encounter. Drawing from decades of experience, she offers a powerful vision for how poetry can shape souls. In this episode, we discuss:
đź“– The “choral” dimension of reading together
📖 Why Gen Z students fear taking interpretive risks—and how to invite them in
đź“– How to delay analysis in favor of immersive, formative reading
đź“– Encountering poetry not as a puzzle to solve, but as a relationship to enter
