Abstract
Examines ideas about the literate and the illiterate, the tutored and the untutored in the poem “Answer,” by Mary Oliver. Suggests that if educators want students to read carefully and analyze conscientiously, then the works they study have to matter to them. Discusses universal literacies, literacy in school and out, classroom discourse and real talk, and the teacher as someone to talk with.
