weekly blog

The topic of the week was definitely Christian Bok. I actually liked his in class spiel better than the one in the formal lounge. The way he divided up the types of poetry was very interesting and I thought very accurate. I think for my next poem I’m going to get a random number generator and assign them a letter – and see how it turns out. I believe that would fall into the category of both having no intention and not actually saying anything category. What he said about adjectives made sense as well. If there is something that a noun is not doing – then improve the noun – don’t add an adjective to it. As for his live performance, I had a hard time being able to appreciate it. Im sure for someone like Professor Hummer it was easy to see why what he is doing is so special but for me it was hard to get past the obvious fact that he was up there screaming non-English words. Also, the low blow he made to Dick Cheney was not appreciated.
