Normally poetry would involve a lot of discussion, about what works, what doesn’t, what it means, where/when it came from. Since we’re at a loss in that area,
I’d ask that you pick one of the poems covered in class and talk about your interpretation.
What does it mean to you? Did my interpretation influence yours? What about the message of the poem appeals to you? What about the techniques appeal to you? A
big, always-interesting question to me: what would you do differently if you wrote the poem (or a poem like it)? Are there specific lines that jump out at
you?
Consider these questions as you post at least 250 words about the poem you choose. This earns you the 9 points.
