Poetic Sensibilities by Natasha Trethewey

  Natasha Trethewey served two terms as the 19th Poet Laureate of the United States. Learn more about her  here . When I workshopped some poems with her at Bread Loaf Writers' Conference, she shared with us her "Poetic Sensibilities".  They were genius, much like their author.  If I remember correctly, these sensibilities included: Narrative Sensibility Sonic Sensibility Philosophical/Intellectual Sensibility   Emotional  Sensibility  Architectural Sensibility Visual Sensibility  Let us take a moment to discuss these sensibilities as a means of discovering what we value in poems and why we value those attributes.
