In reading Rhyme's Reason Book by Hollander, I really enjoyed how it covered the many different types of poems as well as explained what the mechanics are for them as well. It was unique and interesting how they explained the mechanics and the layout of each poem in an example in the form of the given poem. I never thought about the shape of a poem adding to the tension or suspense of someones work but the more we read poems/pieces in different forms and shapes, I see that certain shapes increase or decrease the tension of the poem.
In Tuesdays class I really enjoyed going over the different poems and how they all related back to a single story, but retold certain parts of the story in the different styles that were conducive to each writer. I also liked how we took a common nursery rhyme, kept common themes and ideas, but made it into our own version of the same story.
