Assignment for Tuesday, Oct. 24
Reading:
(1) pages 309-319 in poetry chapter of Burroway
(2) Leonard Cohen lyrics for "Famous Blue Raincoat" (posted on the blog)
Writing:
Write a letter in the form of a poem. The content should in some way be about betrayal - in other words, the speaker (writer) of the poem should have been betrayed in some way by the person they are writing to. See the Cohen song as an example of a letter about betrayal. This is a song, but lyrics have much in common with poetry. Bring a typed copy for me.
If you didn't get me your typed critiques for the workshop, bring them to me (and the author) on Tuesday. Also, please bring me a copy of the piece you submitted to your workshop group, so that I can better evaluate the critiques.
