Popis: The focus of this article is on a poetry therapy model for literature instructors. This model is based on poetry therapy models used by Nicholas Mazza and Arleen Hynes, but also borrows strategies from Alvin Mahrer's experiential therapy and Richard Kopp's metaphor therapy. The model includes a supportive/empathic phase, a response/examination phase, an action/application phase, and culminates with a creative phase where students create their own artistic project in response to a chosen poem. This approach to teaching poetry encourages students to locate potentials, form new goals, productively cope with negative experiences, and reevaluate their relationships.
