Resucitate Recitation?

John Rybicki

At his reading here yesterday, John Rybicki recited several poems from memory. And that got me to thinking about 8th grade when Mrs. Garrett made all of us learn and recite from memory her favorite poem, The House by the Side of the Road. Do students do that these days? Can you recite a poem from memory?

It takes a lot of practice and determination to memories. Not easy. Well done. Regards, James
