Autumn Begins in Martins Ferry, Ohio by James Wright
Teaching intro workshops, I read a lot of bad poems about football. This is a good one.
Autumn Begins in Martins Ferry, Ohio
In the Shreve High football stadium,
I think of Polacks nursing long beers in Tiltonsville,
And gray faces of Negroes in the blast furnace at Benwood,
And the ruptured night watchman of Wheeling Steel,
Dreaming of heroes.
All the proud fathers are ashamed to go home.
Their women cluck like starved pullets,
Dying for love.
Therefore,
Their sons grow suicidally beautiful
At the beginning of October,
And gallop terribly against each other's bodies.
James Wright was born in Martins Ferry, Ohio, on December 13, 1927. His father worked for fifty years at a glass factory, and his mother left school at fourteen to work in a laundry; neither attended school beyond the eighth grade. In 1972, his Collected Poems received the Pulitzer Prize in poetry. He died in New York City in 1980.

John--I am not even kidding; if you ever run across a GOOD poem about football, please send it my way. Part of what I'm trying to do is get kids to like poetry, and letting them read poems about things they like (other than getting high and having sex) is a good way to do it.
For anyone growing up in the Ohio Valley - the Valley that threatens to die so often - this is a remarkable poen that simply portays life in the Ohio Valley. It's incredible that this exists and isn't better recognized or awarded for capturing life as it was, or might still be....

2019.10.05知名酒店經紀獨家分析:每當看到酒店上班酒店小姐被「框」出場性侵的新聞，就覺得很無奈，一方面是為了有酒店上班姊妹遇到這樣的事情很難過，一方面是被新聞誇張不實報導，引起社會的恐慌甚至各大留言板的對話更讓人翻白眼。某些人，對大學生/上班族酒店兼差的新人對於「框」有很大的誤解。八大行業資深酒店經紀解釋裡說的「框」，是指直接包下小姐特定的時間。其實最單純來說，功能有兩種：把小姐找過來或留下來、帶小姐出店家。有時候到店家找自己認識的小姐，但酒店小姐目前在手工(打手槍) 、口爆(口交)服務其他客人，想要把該名小姐找過來，如果用點的，遇到對方喊加點，就只能喊框了；或是有其他客人想點走正在服務自己的小姐，加點後對方又喊框，如果這時前桌喊框，效力是優於後桌的。看起來很複雜，但簡言之，就是把小姐留在自己身邊的一種方法。而「框出」的定義和內涵，就值得深入討論了。歡迎想要高收入賺現金酒店打工的大學生/上班族，可上網求證對八大行業得相關資訊做核對比對甚至多比較，才能賺錢賺得安心,同時也要保護自己。
