Weekly Blog

I thought the exercise that we did on Tuesday was helpful by having us collaborate with a partner to write a poem. It seems from working with my own and listening to others that no matter how different people’s writing styles are, it still seems to work when people collaborate together. It was interesting to build off each other’s lines and see what kind of direction people tried to go with. In the other exercise we did with writing concrete and abstract poetry, I feel like I had a harder time finding more concrete imagery to try and express my ideas through and found it easier to write in a more abstract form. Hopefully it will inspire me when working on the rewrites of my poems to try and make sure I incorporate concrete imagery as well as abstract in a way where they can work well together. These last couple classes where we have read ars poetica and practiced writing them have helped me see what direction I might want to go in for my final project. I really feel though that throughout this semester I have really enhanced my writing style and have gotten a sense for what kind of poetry I enjoy reading and writing.
