Yes, indeed, your teachers love poetry.  As one in our occasional series of poetry readings, here's an audio recording of Pat Walsh, US History teacher, who reads a selection of short poems by Richard Brautigan. Brautigan (1935-1984) is one of those quirky voices who had one foot in the Beat poets' movement, and one foot in 60's counterculture.  He wrote a number of novels and books of poetry, and came to the attention of Kurt Vonnegut in the late 1960s, who helped him find a national audience of readers.

If you enjoy them, stop by, and pick up a copy of his work.  We have Trout Fishing in America, as well as a collection of poems that may interest you.
