I want to talk about the activity we did in class last Thursday. I thought it helped me to open my mind to different subjects for my poetry. Since I do not usually express my thoughts and feelings on paper I am no to great at it. But when the Professor was reading words, I easily had reactions to all of them, and was able to write about it easily. I think now that i should be able to just name any of my feelings and be able to write about it.
Also I think it was great that everyone was able to go around the circle and give their opinions on the poetry packet. I read all the poems and only understood a couple. The ones that I did get, everyone else had different opinions on. Which in my opinion is the great thing about poetry. Everyone can read the same poem, and see it in a different way. With neither being more wrong or right.
Lastly I really want to talk about the faculty reading last night. It opened my eyes to many different forms of poetry, and presentation. The first presentation was extremely interesting. I think her use of background noise was more distracting then helpful. It was nonsensical and just took away from the overall experience. I really enjoyed the second reader. She chose some very interesting pieces and was able to read them in her own voice, which was outstanding.
