My first glimpse at our anthology

I read both the intro to poetry and the intro to "experimental writing," and I have to say that reading all of that cheezy crap about poetry brought me immediately back to my "Intro to Literary Studies" class last spring. The experimental writing piece, and its following explaination, I found to be incredibly interesting. I think this probably stems from the fact that I do a lot of poem analysis because I am a literature major (writing minor), and I guess I just don't like thinking of poems as a child looking to his or her parent for attention. It seemed kind of pathetic. On the other hand entirely, I found a really interesting example and explanation of a prose poem, with which I have had very little experience (if any at all). I think that the experimental writing section of this anthology is going to be really cool to read. Good stuff. ( S0nya, Sorry I was bitchy about the poetry section...I'm sure it'll be fine...). Haha.

Oh, you know bitchy is fine with me! And there's something about the "intro the poetry" that brings it out in many folks... I haven't found a way around that!
