Dust off Your Grecian Urns

For next meeting (10/8), we're writing an ode in the style of Lisa Jarnot's postmodernist prose poem "Ode" in GAPP. Here's a link to her reading the poem. Hope to see you there. http://www.naropa.edu/archive/audio/jarnot_lisa_99p015_clip_ode.mp3

Speculative History

For this week's obstruction/assignment, we're doing a proem that creates a new chapter in history, a moment that should have happened or one that could have happened but thankfully did not. I gave Billy Collins' poem "The History Teacher" as an example. Click here to read it: http://www.billy-collins.com/2005/06/the_history_tea.html.

See you at 7 on 9/24.
