What Do Writers Teach?  
The poems and fiction creative writers enjoy teaching. Alliteration and simile in Gerard Manley Hopkins's "As Kingfishers Catch Fire" and how the sonnet inspires students to write poetry. Neighborhood as inspiration in Gwendolyn Brooks's "We Real Cool," and the importance of sound in "Those Winter Sundays," Robert Hayden's tribute to his father. The revelation of human nature's complexities through small details in Anton Chekhov's short story "Gooseberries."
