Writing 12, Friday, Oct. 29

Wasn't that film about the oldest holocaust survivor amazing?

We read three poems today looking carefully at what we mean by "surprise" in poetry and how to find the exact detail to bring a poem from good to AMAZING. Be sure to pick up the handouts and borrow the notes from a friend.

Finally, we discussed how to submit our poems to a magazine. You need to choose three poems and you need to choose a magazine. Once you do that, you need to buy a large envelope, a small envelope and three stamps. Bring everything, all ready to go, Monday, Nov. 8. Good luck. You can find magazines on the web.

Also, check the library. You want to read the magazine and/or their website before submitting to ensure that you like the poetry they publish. Think of it like choosing a new friend.
