ABSTRACT

This introduction chapter presents an overview of key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The author presents some of the poems about language and grammar with postmodern ruminations on how language shapes and composes us in relationships with one another, relationships that are always steeped in imagination, hope, creativity, and love. Poetry can transform pedagogic imaginations by creating possibilities for conversations about curriculum in the diverse communities that constitutes the human living. As curriculum theorists, scholars, and educators, needs to attend to language. In author's life he have been a student or a teacher-more than fifty-five years-and, in all those years he have been enamoured with the necromancy of the alphabet, the magic of spelling, the alchemy of grammar, the mystery of books-the potent fecundity of language. The author what cannot tolerate is systematic theology, or systematic philosophy, or systematic curriculum and pedagogy.
