She-Ra, Princess of Power
Hello all,
Today’s poetry lab is inspired by work from two poets who are not afraid to mix pop culture with feminist ideals: Sandra Faulkner and Denise Duhamel.
After reading three of their poems (see links below), try to come up with one of your own in the same vein.
I am drawn to She-Ra, Princess of Power, as my starting point, but feel free to use any pop icon of your choice. Remember to weave in a feminist flavor.
THE POEMS:
When Hello Kitty Registers for the Working Cats Conference, Security Confiscates Her Catnip NOTE: Poem is at the end of the book blurb
Do you know of any other poets who have used pop culture in interesting ways in their work? Then post in the comments.
