Writers,
Just a reminder that there was no discussion board after our pantoum practice in class on Thursday. I appreciate those who did upload their pantoums to the sestina board, however! But this was not required, so I’ve closed that thread to make it more clear. I have two items to address before I see you tomorrow:
- A short and, I hope, fun piece of homework for our free writing tomorrow. Please bring around two stanzas of lyrics from your favorite song. This can be a popular song, any genre, or any song that has meaning for you. Remember in music, we often refer to “stanzas” as verses. We are going to use them for our free write at the beginning of class.
- In the follow-up links for last Thursday’s class, I added a Review of Poetic Forms and Terms for the Poetry Quiz. Our in-class Poetry Quiz is this coming Thursday, March 3.
See you tomorrow! Feel free to email with questions: jsears@citytech.cuny.edu
