Richard, interesting questions. I'll be back on the teaching issue. If you haven't seen Northrop Frye's two books on The Bible AND Literature, I highly recommend them: The Great Code and Words with Power, both Harvest Books. His emphasis is on how it influenced writers, but in the process he does some amazing structural and image analysis--some of which influenced about six of my poems, including "The Word," "The Trees's Tale," and "In His Self-Image."
