Where You're Calling From

For next time, we leave behind our work-themed essays and head back into poems, courtesy of Billy Collins' "Where I Live."  Check it out here from google books: 


So, please write a brief poem (half a page or less) about where you live.  Good luck writing.  

As promised, here is that scene from Mamet's film Glengarry Glen Ross.  Remember, "Always be closing."  See you 2/25 at 7.

Working, Das Ende

 

For this week's meeting, we are writing our final two paragraphs of the essay we wrote the introductions to at our last meeting.  This sounds more confusing than I had intended, but as I'm pretty sure there are only three people who read this blog, this won't spike the national confusion average much if any, as these three should know what I'm talking about.  As my favorite fortune cookie slip ever stated: "Good to begin well; Better to end well." Let's see your finales this Thursday, 2/11 at 7 p.m.
