Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 102 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations before we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing, reading, and thinking on a weekly basis in an informal setting.

Group Critique
For today's group critique I was able to get more input on my poem that I created using a Terza Rima rhyme scheme. I found using Terza Rima help me better write the poem because I was able find the come up with a system that helped me just focus on rhyming the words at the end. I also presented a conclusion to my essay about food and my personal experience and even a daily basis with it. My group help me decide on where I could take the project next in terms of what to e=write about.
Group Critique
Today during the group critique, I think my group helped me to figure out where I should take my dream analysis from here. I thought that it was getting to be too much but my group members assured me that it wasn't. I think that I am going to add a few more things to my analysis and then start on my next essay. I think the group critique really helps with writing because it gives the writer a few more ideas from another persons point of view.

How Poems Arrive
In the poem “How Poems Arrive” stevenson talks about how poetry is so diverse and how many emotions you can put in it and how you can write it. She talks highley about poem writing, showering her pride for poems.
How Poems Arrive
The author, Anne Stevenson is communicating through this poem, the concept and ideas behind poems and how they come to be. Throughout it she explains the different type of feelings and emotions they express while amplifying feelings of the writer themselves. When Stevenson writes “Sporting with vowels, or showing off a chain of silver els and ms to host displays”, she references the different ways poems are written and how they can form images or displays for readers. She continues to speak on the overall feeling that’s left with the reader while reading and finishing the poem.
How Poems Arrive
I think throughout this poem, what the narrator is doing is giving brief descriptions and and making some great analogies that tie together with the way how a poem is truly structured and formed, as well as giving the poem a more real life meaning and bring it into reality. For example ,” You say them as your undergongue declares Then let them knock about your upper mind Until the shape of what they mean appears”. This example is stated in regards to how powerful the words you say in poetry can give it some actuality. This is strictly based on emotion , feeling, and imagination.
How Poems Arrive
I think the poem is expounding the title “how poems arrive.”
Maybe you utter them or you write them via brainstorming or not; see how If makes sense and even if it doesn’t you could adjust it to make sense. They are often used to express one’s self. It consists of much depth often times and quite creative but the writer understands it best.
