Abstract
My semester-long poetry elective was always a small class, but my students and I agreed that we loved it that way. For some reason, it was always scheduled as the last period of the day, and so at 2:30 pm, my students would come in and, without prompting, configure the tables so that we sat facing each other in class. We would chat for a few minutes, and then we would get into our work, each of us opening our journals to free write before turning to the poems we would be discussing that day. Almost without exception over the six years I taught it, the course was a sort of cozy, intellectual community.
