Please read Chapter 3 (Making the line (I)) in Writing Poems

Important!! Don’t forget that Poem #1 (Image-Based Poem) will be due in class today! (See guidelines in post below as needed)

Thursday, February 9, 2006:

Class canceled today, as instructor will be out of town for a conference.

Here is your memoir prompt from for blog posts due on Sunday, February 12:

Recall your greatest accomplishment. Was it an award? Did you have a child? Was it something you were honored with publicly or was it a secret thing? Did you do it alone or with a group of people?

And finally, some additional reminders regarding blogging:

Don’t forget that you need to write three blog posts per week: (1) Memoir prompt; (2) Cleaned up/finished version of one of the in-class exercises from class; and (3) Process post discussing either the readings, your own writing process, or any of the ideas/terms/concepts we’ve been covering in the class.

There’s a slight chance that we might not have time to do an in-class writing exercise during our one class meeting on Tuesday this week. If that’s the case, then you may do a “freestyle” blog post on any subject of your choice in lieu of the in-class exercise for this week’s blog posts due on Sunday, February 12.
