Family Constellations: Teaching Dave Etter's "Brother" (Modern Poetry in the Classroom).

Totherow, Barbara

English Journal, v77 n7 p78-81 Nov 1988

Discusses how Dave Etter's poem "Brother" involves students by focusing on the themes of guilt and the love/hate complexity of a sibling relationship. Notes that Gina Berriault's story "The Stone Boy" and Harley Elliot's poem "Brothers Together in Winter" work well in conjunction with "Brother" as a thematic unit. (MM)
