Wr 12: Manuscript due Nov. 6

We spent the entire period editing/revising our manuscripts. If you were absent, find an extra 80 minutes to make up for missing today's class. I also collected two poems and the Yvonne Blomer response.


Tomorrow: The poet, author, teacher, critic, academic, former Dean of Okanangan College, John Lent will be here to read poetry. He is currently promoting his latest novel, The Path to Ardroe, which I read and when I finished it, I immediately began to read it again. See previous blog posts to read about his work. Be sure to ask pertinent questions regarding preparing your manuscript. How does one end a poem? How do you revise? How do you add sound? Rhythm? Surprise? Etc.
