National Poetry Month: Educator Barnes Reads – I May, I Might, I Must

I came across the poem “I May, I Might, I Must” by Marianne Moore in the book the Best Poems Ever – a collection of poetry’s greatest voices.   This short book contains 71 pages of poems by well known poets such as:  Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Langston Hughes, Edgar Allen Poe, Carl Sandburg, William Shakespeare, and Phillis Wheatley.  This would be a great book to use in an English class with students to analyze the various poems and learn about the poetic devices used by each author.
