Poetry Homework Due Monday 5/16

Friday 5/13

In Class: Workshop — Day III;

Assignment: 1) Work on revising your poems according to feedback from workshop. 2) Complete Exercise # 10: Select one of your outside reading poems to respond to in a poem of your own creation. You might write to the poem itself or to the poet, but you must write from the voice/perspective of someone different from you–an archaeologist, a small child, the poet’s neighbor, a friend, a loved one, a dying man/woman, someone desperately searching for answers, etc.  Choose a perspective that interests you most and go with it. Attach a copy of the poem you are responding to onto your draft.
