Writing 12: Jay Ruzesky tomorrow and two poems due . . .

Jay Ruzesky is coming. Yay!! Bring any questions you have about writing, poetry, publishing, VIU's writing programs and as you listen to the poems he reads, ask questions about what you have just heard. Don't be shy. The discussion we had with Laisha Rosnau was great.

Two poems due at the beginning of class tomorrow please.

Please be on time to respect our guest.

Monday: Your response to Jay's reading is due. Follow the sample you have. Remember to take notes during the reading to copy down key quotes that you like. These quotes can be from the poems or from his comments to your questions. If you need an extra day, you may submit the response on Tuesday. No response equals 0. If you are absent, you get a zero, unless you research the author's work and respond or go to an extra literary event outside of class.

WORKSHOP GROUP: Bring a new, typed poem (3 or 4 copies depending on how big your group is) for Monday) Celestial, you will need to bring four copies.
