Why don’t more of us like poetry? Is it too non-linear? Too difficult to break down in a matter of minutes? Are we too skeptical of the writer? Are we unsure why we should dedicate our time to the suggestions of a stranger? Or does it remind us of school, evoking some repressed hostility towards the teacher who didn’t like us or our apathetic attitude towards Robert Frost? Yolanda Wisher, an English instructor at Germantown Friends School and a well-known local poet, isn’t that teacher. Tomorrow, she will showcase a group of adult and high school spoken word artists at an outdoor festival in Germantown’s Vernon Park.
