Be sure to keep copies of the poems that I mark and edit for you. If you did not have all three here today, could you email me the total mark out of 30? Thanks.
Check that you know the date of your day 5 presentation as well.
Have you been to a literary event yet? Be sure to submit your response. The lunch time Dave Morris presentation can count.
Please mark Nov. 9 on the calendar. It's The Claremont Review's 20 year (40th issue) celebration. There will be readings, refreshments and door prizes, plus congratulatory speeches by Elizabeth May, Green Party Leader and other VIPs such as Bob Snowden. We count on the local writing classes to support the magazine. You may wish to purchase a copy for yourself or for a friend.
A lot of current and former SMUS students will be reading as well. Kaylaa Dornan, Oliver Brooks etc
The band Leisure Suits will entertain us as well. It will be great!
Your writing is really changing. Congrats. Read as much modern poetry as you can. Find favourites to imitate. When you read, ask yourself, what in the world are they doing? How might I accomplish that?
WED: IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY SUBMITTED YOUR TWO SHORT POEMS FOR THE ART CLASS, I MUST SEE THEM TOMORROW. TYPE THEM UP TONIGHT.
Create a poem tonight based on today's handout.
