Writing 12: Leonard Cohen presented . . .

I collected the Performance Poetry responses today. If you didn't get it in, you are out of luck. You had two nights to complete it. 

Thanks to Joel, Aubrey and Sara for their ebullient presentation today. I really enjoyed it.

Tomorrow, poet, critic, educator, Yvonne Blomer will be presenting her work.
Please arrive with key questions.
