For Week of May 15
Please see syllabus for reading. Poetry Packet is available on myemich for this class (under files). Read the first 3 poets (Shakespeare, Mullen, Berrigan) and come prepared to discuss.
Writing exercises, keep working on these from last week:
Make a list of 25 words from the first poetry handout; choose any words from any of the poems. Use this list to write 3 poems; use as many of the words as possible in each poem, so you have 3 versions of poems written from the list.
Write a poem called "13 ways of looking at...." and fill in the blank at the end. Model your poem after W. Stevens "13 ways of looking at a blackbird" though you make write your poem in any form or style.
Also, check and make sure your blog link is working from this blog page. If it isn't, bring the address again to class and let's make sure it works.
