"A Memorized Poem Lives with You Forever"

Since you'll each be memorizing a poem this semester, I thought you might enjoy this article from NPR, "A Memorized Poem Lives with You Forever, So Pick Carefully."  Though it's probably best for you to pick a piece you feel personally connected to, the article mentions ten poems you might consider memorizing, including "The Fish," by Elizabeth Bishop, who we'll be reading later this semester, and John Keats, who is pictured below.
