Book goes to India
Posted on September 5th, 2009 235 comments
She Would Draw Flowers was used as a reader for poetry classes for the 7 - 8 th grade and the 9-10 th grades of the Sloka Waldorf School in Hyderabad India. I, as her mother, had the privilege of being asked to go to India and teach a poetry block. Students loved her words and found the book very helpful with poems by a teenager to compliment other American poets, and to inspire their own poems about nature, friends, and family. For teachers a complete outline of the lesson plans for that experience are available .It is an amazing coincidence that took me to India. When Kirsten was born, we gave her a Hindu middle name (Savitri)as a wish for her to be a global citizen. Her complete name is Kirsten Savitri Bergh.Her father Paul was studying East-West Psychology/Spirituality at that time. After she died and I published her poetry book, one of her books made it halfway around the world to the school library at the Sloka School in Hyderabad India, and a teacher named Jyotsna noticed it because of the Hindu name on an English book. She pulled it out of the shelf, and then fell in love with Kirsten’s poetry and showed the book to her class. Soon after that her daughter moved from India to Bloomington Minnesota, within a few miles of where I live in Minneapolis. She came to visit her daughter, found me, came to my home and invited me to come to India to train the teachers. Later she asked me to also teach poetry to the 7 - 10 grade, and I took along books for all the students in my suitcase.
I loved teaching there. All the students became excited about poetry, reading it, speaking it, and writing it. At first they were nervous about an American coming to teach them poetry; but once we started they found out what interesting ideas they had, and how language could come alive.
