This week it has been both challenging and helpful to critique all of the poems in my group and have my own critiqued as well. It is definitely helpful to read my classmates poems and I have gotten some inspiration from them and have seen different ways that they like to write poetry. By workshopping some of these other poems in our class, I think it will help me more in the future to go over my own poem more thoroughly before I hand it in. All of the poems that I have read for this week have been of very diverse content and it was cool to see what inspiration they drew from other poems we have read in class. A lot of the critique and insight that I received about my poem on Tuesday helped me to think of ways to make my writing a little clearer and more cohesive and has given me ideas of new topics that I can write about.
