Reading Homework for Monday and Wednesday discussion (not to be on the quiz Monday).
Read this Intro as well as the bio and listed poems for the following poets:
Ezra Pound In a Station of the Metro The River Merchant's Wife
T.S. Eliot Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
Wallace Stevens Sunday Morning, The Emperor of Ice Cream, Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird The Snowman
and Mina Loy Lost Lunar Baedeker and Moreover, the Moon
Homework:
Your first assignment will involve an imitation piece or series from the works we’ve read. (500 word minimum). It can be written in a variety of forms (essay,poetry, formal, etc.) as long as it meets the word count. One way to tackle this might be to write a poem by the light of one of these pieces and then to write a short letter or essay piece that describes your process: how you worked from the imitation and how you worked away from or against it.
