{Journal entry #15} Farewell?

It's December, the last December of the decade.

{Poet spotlight #2} Carol Ann Duffy

Due to unforeseen circumstances (bit of an understatement but let's go with that) we did not get to talk about poet laureates in the course. Let me rectify that with one of my favorites,  Carol Ann Duffy.

{Collection Spotlight #2} Grief is the thing with Feathers

In all honesty, this is probably due for a reread because it's been a while, but I still wanted to give this a shoutout.

{Journal Entry #14} Music + Poetry and all that jazz...

It was time the Poetry selection became less white, so Langston Hughes, here we go!

{Journal entry #13} My Frost Brings all the Form to the Yard

{Journal Entry #12} Memory... All alone in the moonlight, I can dream of the old days... Life was beautiful then

So much has been said and written about Eliot (and Pound, and their modernist ideas), that instead of putting my two cents in, I'll just talk about cats and how we fought in class.

{Journal Entry #11} I missed this class, so I'll just talk about my time in Ireland instead...

Here I am, being extra on my last day at University College Cork.

{Journal entry #10} Walt, the quiet gentleman killer

When I was still officially a teen, I read a couple of lines from Song of Myself, and my reading life was changed forever.

{Journal Entry #9} Cynthia Nixon played Emily Dickinson and I'm here for it

...Also, what are these poems about?

{Journal Entry #8} Second Gen Romantic, a.k.a the original edgy bois

Young, attractive, self-destructive, aesthetes, ground-breaking... and great meme material.
