Résumé

In this essay, I share reflections on what it meant to teach my book of poetry in an introductory English literature class. The book took inspiration from the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas, particularly his studies on encountering the other person. Engaging with this text (both the poetry and the philosophy), I consider some of the nuances of a pedagogy of creativity and its potential for lessons in engaging with the other on the basis of ignorance of the other. The essay is a response to Anna Herbert’s  The Pedagogy of Creativity (2010), in which Herbert, on the other hand, defines the other as a location within the self.
