As
a woman, wife, high school English teacher, daughter and self,
I’m proud
to tell about what I’ve learned from
Aesthetic
Realism, the philosophy founded by
Eli
Siegel (1902-1978)—American poet, critic and educator.
Some of the papers you'll find
here describe
the
great effectiveness of the
Aesthetic Realism Teaching Method,
which I've used with great success for 25 years in New York
public schools. There are also
papers by me and others on subjects that concern
everyone, including love, kindness, justice, and how
to see people. And you'll find reports I’ve written of
lectures by Eli Siegel and classes taught by Ellen Reiss, with whom I
study, on such
topics as poetry, the relation of art and science, and the wonderful
meaning of idioms.
