I have to teach Brit. Lit for my 11th grade English Curriculum. It's not my bag. I'd be all for some modern and contemporary (which isn't part of the curriculum... we're doing beowulf and chaucer)... but that old shit just doesn't do it for high school students (or me for that matter). I've always had a soft spot for Blake, though. He's just such a weird genius bastard.
