"April is the Cruellest Month"
1) Silent Reading
2) Parody Poems - hand them in - share mine. What was this like? How did the Q's to Ask of a Poem help you?
3) Read: Music or Books? What do you think? What is it about songs that might make us more solipsistic? What is it about books that might make us less so? And what about poetry? What does it ask of us?
Separation
by WS Merwin
Your Absence has gone through me
Like Thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with colour.
What makes this a poem rather than ordinary prose?
4) No textbooks available - photocopies instead... :( Read up to Te Receptive Reader "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening." Anser all 5 questions - will discuss and mark tomorrow.
