We need help in finding published poetry about a historical event that affected the
U.S. It can't come from the Internet, but has to have been published in a book. I
need some specific titles that I can buy or borrow. It is for our high school
interscholastic competition. The student must choose one poem written about a
specific historical event and choose two others about issues related to that event.
An example would be a published poem about Sept. 11, 2001 with two other poems
about loss or fear.
One student has chosen the Civil War and has some published poetry, but we are
looking for something on Women's Lib for one of our female competitors. However,
any other ideas would be helpful, too.
Following is a printout of the guidelines for this event.
Thanks so much!
"Category A of Poetry is entitled ³American Reflections² and has probably generated
more enthusiasm and initiated amazing creativeness from students, but also prompted
more inquiry of all the four new prose and poetry categories. It requires a
contestant to perform a thematic program of two or more published, printed poems by
one or more poets. The program must explore a specific historical event that has
influenced the United States and especially important for the performer to realize
is that at least one poem within the program must directly speak about the specific
historical event."
