EnglishMelanie: contemporary poetry
http://englishmelanie.blogspot.com/2007/04/contemporary-poetry.html
Sunday, April 1, 2007. Hmmm…what is contemporary poetry? Trying to define contemporary poetry is problematic for me on several levels. First, the word “contemporary” is tricky. How old can the poetry be to not be contemporary or, in other words, how new should it be? Another possible hallmark of contemporary poetry, not that this is exclusive to contemporary poetry, seems to be that contemporary poetry makes the reader work a little harder to extract meaning. Even in poetry that we think is accessibl...

Dreaming Myths: February 2007
http://jensen510.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
In a class that promises to make me even further unfit for reality. Monday, February 26, 2007. I see his blood upon the rose. And in the stars the glory of his eyes,. His body gleams amid eternal snows,. His tears fall from the skies. I see his face in every flower;. The thunder and the singing of the birds. Are but his voice and carven by his power. Rocks are his written words. All pathways by his feet are worn,. His strong heart stirs the ever-beating sea,. His cross is every tree. Links to this post.

Monday, April 2, 2007. 550: Attempt at longer poems. Hurricane breezes play zylophone on. Metal shingles with birch hammers. Clangy, sudden, disharmonic. Now silent and safe. Or so it seems. After dinner the back porch door. She thrust down, lying out. Lying to the earth. Claiming to protect but. The sun conced...

Comfortable Amongst Chaos: Boycotting Reality
http://chaundera.blogspot.com/2007/02/sexson-sarcastically-posed-question-in.html
Sunday, February 11, 2007. Sexson sarcastically posed the question in class on Wednesday, "Who would like to live in the world of Don Quixote and Romanticism? Where is the fun in that! Chaundera - You sound distressed. I think the problem with concepts like the Quixotic ideal and other romantic notions is that they seem ideal, when really they aren't. Remember that Don Quixote saw Dulcinea as beautiful and not as a prostitute. Romantic? Sure Safe for him? February 13, 2007 at 8:07 PM. The Science of Sleep.

Tuesday, April 24, 2007. 510: From my draft, here is a reworked discussion of the mirror and the spiral. The mirror can be the starting point of a visual spiral of reality as is seen when, in Higuchinsky’s film. This is a clear example of Frye’s comment in. This title is translated as.

Blog for Dr. Michael Sexson's English 510: The Displacement of Myth in Literature, Dreams, and Life and Dr. Greg Keeler's English 550: Reading and Writing Contemporary American Poetry Spring 2007. Sunday, March 4, 2007. So I know we aren't supposed to bring our dreams into the dayworld, but what about premonition dreams? How do we account for dreams that ARE related to the dayworld through no choice or actions of our own? Is this at all related to Melanie's theory of deja vu? March 5, 2007 at 11:38 PM.

Saturday, March 3, 2007. The Second Coming by W. B. Yeats. Turning and turning in the widening gyre. The falcon cannot hear the falconer;. Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;. Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,. The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere. The ceremony of innocence is drowned;.

Dreaming Myths: January 2007
http://jensen510.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
In a class that promises to make me even further unfit for reality. Wednesday, January 31, 2007. Notable class 31 Jan. Northrup Frye doesn't ascribe to any particular school of criticism or author. He intends, instead, to provide a sort of universal (omniscient/present) view of what it means to read/interpret literature. He proposes to reduce literature to its lowest common denominator: words and their structure. Does Northie think he's God? What is the difference between myths and fairy tales? Hoaxes: f...
