Abstract	The language of story and poetry, mythopoetic language, is at the heart of our English discipline. It is language designed to enrich our comprehension of our inner lives, a language that helps us to see beyond the literal, beyond the world revealed to us through other disciplines like science and mathematics, history and geography. In this it shares an epistemology with the other creative arts, though our medium--the language of words--is different. Our mythopoetic discourse helps us see the world more fully. Two academics--both former secondary English teachers--discuss their different interpretations of the place of mythopoetics in an era of measurable outcomes and accountability. (As Provided).
