The submissions post for next week is below as usual.

But the people you suggested aren't poets. They're rappers, and music -- however lyrical the actual text may be -- isn't the same thing as poetry.

I'm sorry if your teacher didn't explain this to you in a respectful manner, but her basic point isn't wrong (IMHO at least).

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I think the contested definition of "poetry" is the very point the OP is making, don't you think, and perhaps some definitions are skewed by class/race alignments. Consider how poetry and lyrics were always considered the same once...

[(Anonymous)]

I agree. If there are courses devoted to studying rock & roll music, why not study rap lyrics?

[insolentwitch]

Some colleges offer courses devoted to the study of rap lyrics/music. I think the real issue here is whether or not the study of those lyrics (or any lyrics) has a place in a course studying modern poetry, but isn't dedicated specifically to lyrics.

I think lyrics are poetry, but a lot of poets don't. I don't think all lyrics are good, but neither is all poetry.

Tupac actually did write poetry. Try looking for The Rose that Grew from Concrete.

[nobara]

Was coming here to say this...

[(Anonymous)]

I've heard of Tupac's lyrics being studied as poetry in a college class before. Anyway, is it all that different from studying, say, the Iliad as poetry? It was an oral work sung to music before it was written down.

[diet_poison]

This is an excellent point.

[(Anonymous)]

Poetry, like any other form of writing, is subjective. You don't consider it poetry. I do. I think the prof was a douche for being narrow minded in what she considered poetry as well.

[diet_poison]

Maybe not for being narrow-minded in *her* opinion, but in not allowing a student to have that opinion and explore it, I'd agree.
