Although her work is rarely taught, its clear prose, rich metaphoric language, and strong connection to the Midwest make Le Sueur’s work especially appropriate to Minnesota university and high school classrooms. Her death, fifteen years ago , has renewed interest in her work, especially with regard to recent interest in the depression era Midwest Federal Writers Project and the resulting Smithsonian Institute’s documentary titled, Soul of a People: Writing America's Story released in 2010 .
Although this paper does not offer specific pedagogical exercises for using Le Sueur’s works in the classroom, an analysis of three short pieces should exemplify just how easily accessible her earth bound metaphors are, even for students who are unfamiliar with literary analysis.
