Wr 12: Writing about a first time

If you were absent today, be sure to pick up copies of the two handouts we worked with.

We are still focusing on writing narrative poems and we reviewed the technique called anaphora Click here for more details on anaphora.

Friday: Arrive with 3 copies of a poem you want workshopped.

How to workshop a poem: Here's a comical poem by American poet, Billy Collins on the workshop process: Workshop

Here is a wonderful blog about poetry that you may need on an occasional Monday night: Poem Workshop Blog

Tomorrow, we'll discuss ways to make the workshop effective.

Bring copies of your poem to distribute to your group.

Great work today.

Write about a first time. Bring what you create to class to share.
