- April is
Poetry month
Expressive behavior is an important component of self-actualization, as Maslow emphasized. The origins of poetry are connected with the origins of music. Both are expressive behaviors par excellence. Both are connected with the remembering and transferring of knowledge, essential parts of the sharing and extension of culture. In recognition of Poetry Month, please select your own favorite poems to share with your classmates. See also the link to Whitman's ``A Song of Myself'' below.
- Walt Whitman's ``A Song of Myself'' is a long poem first published in 1855 that, among other things, celebrates the process of self-actualization. Read it during National Poetry month.
- Constantin Cavafy's poem ``Ithaka'' is about the return of Odysseus and ``process rather than product.'' Checkout the alternative translation linked at the bottom of this page and also click on Main Page or Menu at the bottom to explore the web site, which is a tribute to the poet.
