Our final exam period will be held at 9800 Seymour Street from 1:30 until 3:30 or so.  I have asked Jack Leax and Linda Mills-Woolsey to join us. All work is due on or before that meeting. This includes both poems you have posted and submission of the written report on your contemporary poet.  In addition, I would like you to come to that post-lunch gathering with a written statement, suitable for submission, about how you see poetry. That is, write about your experience reading, writing and discussing poetry this semester; write about the idea of being a poet, of practicing poetry during these months.

Bring your statement with you to the gathering.  I will not ask you to read it but I will ask you to contribute your thoughts.

That is a conversation Jack and Linda are being asked to join.

You might want to revisit your January description of poetry as a launching pad for your discussion.  There is no specified length. I should think, however, that 500 words would be a bare minimum and 5000 words would be more than necessary. 

My house is easy to get to: cross the little bridge behind Lambein and turn right when you get to the road. My house is the second on the right, the red house just to the right of where the road splits. If you go up (left at the split) you will arrive at the nursing home. Don’t. Stay right.

See you there.
