Teaching Adult ESL with Poetry

All the things you don't know in this life until you look. I've been teaching poetry in the schools in California for about 6 years now, and I'm just finding out so many things. For instance, there are many teachers who use poetry to teach English as a Second Language (ESL). Here's a great link I found -- thre are some lovely ideas here and some great poetry books cited. One of the poems discussed is "Margaret's Party" by Joni Miller. I'll have to find the whole text of that one.
