There's something to be said in favor of working in isolation in the real world.

Only silence perfects silence.

The white sun like a moth on a string circles the southpole.

A poem generated by its own laws may be unrealized and bad in terms of so-called objective principles of taste, judgement, deduction.

If a poem is each time new, then it is necessarily an act of discovery, a chance taken, a chance that may lead to fulfillment or disaster

Besides the actual reading in class of many poems, I would suggest you do two things: first, while teaching everything you can and keeping free of it, teach that poetry is a mode of discourse that differs from logical exposition

Definition, rationality, and structure are ways of seeing, but they become prisons when they blank out other ways of seeing.
