American Crisis

Heather Mchugh wrote a document about the schooling of Poetry which in her point view is about how much the chances of a successful poetry life are dying. According to Heather academia is changing the way students should look at poetry because there isn't much interested as before. 100 years ago American culture definitively differs from todays. Why do I say this? Our culture is full of technology that focuses on war, blood, laziness, distractions and brainless actions. Students rather play video games than write an essay or a poem. The inspiration is getting lost, most people don’t notice or cares, and this will be, a literature crisis. Mchugh uses criticism not to analyze poetry but to created, as she recalls. Trying to add interest to Americans about poetry Heather discovers adding rhyme at the end of poems could enable her to add some feeling in between the spaces of though and thinking, as she explains in some of her poems. In the other hand James Wright also has a closed point of view of poetry as well as Heather having a conflict with the name "new poetry" in the academia. Wright ever since he was born in Ohio his love for poetry grew so fast, he started writing his poems and succeed. Heather and Wright have connected to one mind in my point of view and it is true America it is suffering a Poetry Crisis; we need to do something about it and add more interested in poetry.
