Wednesday 2/19/14 Class

We won't start till 4:30 pm...

Bring your draft of your villanelle to class.  Read aloud.  Talk about struggles, triumphs.

Choose one of the 12 you didn't previously from  Oprah's 12-Ways-to-Write-a-Poem.  Write a poem from one of these prompts in 10 minutes.

Let's talk about rondeau:  http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/5789

Assignment:  do a rondeau, and also "undo" a rondeau. 

Portfolio of poetry (four poems), with a paper examining poem of your choosing due:  March 10. 2014.  Paper should be 5 pages in length, double-spaced, with a title, and should focus on one of the poets we've looked at, as well as use the text from The Art of Syntax as a reference and context.
