It was really interesting to have Christian Bok come teach us in the classroom today and to get to see him perform his own and other people’s poetry at the reading. He made us think a lot about what writing in our mind constitutes a novel and how we are able to be intentional or non intentional and expressive or non expressive when we write a certain way. It was really helpful when he went over how and when we should use nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. Next time I am writing a poem, I will try and make sure my nouns and verbs are descriptive on their own so I don’t have to use as many adjectives or adverbs. It was an interesting experience to here Christian Bok read the sound poetry tonight because I had never heard this done before. We would not have been able to get the same effect from the poem if we hadn’t heard him read it out loud. I enjoyed the poem that was called mushroom clouds and incorporated the Super Mario Brothers. All of the poems he read gave me new insight to how poems can be written and performed and what one can incorporate into them.
