Well this last week we got into some seriously deep poetry. All I have to say is "Kids we are not in High School ANY MORE!" Trying to read, let alone understand some of the different pieces we were given this week was beyond challenging for me. The one piece that sticks out in my mind is The Clock Fallen Into the Sea from the fist packet of poems we got. Pablo Neruda uses some serious imagery and symbolism with this piece. Talking about how "There is so much light in dark space" I don't know about you but that to me is kind of an oxymoron.
We have also started reading the book Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg. So far I really have enjoyed reading this book. She has written this informative book as if it was a novel for pleasure reading. It is a very different approach to deliver this kind of information but I really enjoy it. It is not like reading other text for my other classes.
Well thats what I have to say about these past few classes. Bring on the deep poetry and some more read!
