Your (poetry) syllabus!

I want your input in what our class reads this semester, particularly with poetry.  As I see it, this class is something of a journey we are taking together, and while I define the parameters of where we travel through textbook selection, it may be more interesting for you and for me if we read, study, and ultimately write about the works that you would most like to explore.

Read through the titles of the poems in the table of contents for our Literature and Its Writers textbook and note the ones you know from past experience you would like to read and study for this class.  Also note the titles that sound intriguing or interesting, and then scan through the poems themselves.  Spend a few minutes flipping through all the poetry pages and see what catches your interest.  Email me a list of up to six poems you would especially like to study this semester: include the title and the page number(s) for each poem (email me at chip@chipspage.com).
