This is a collaborative blog. Well, let's face it, they all are. But, specifically, this one's a collaboration between me, my friend Camii, and sometimes my brother. Here you'll find waitressing stories, bar quotes, movie reviews, and the occasional cake.

New Adventures in Poetry-land

"It'll be good."
-David

Tonight begins Eng. 640, a four week summer poetry workshop. I'm a bit apprehensive:

1. Most of the people in this workshop are inexperienced as poets + the misconception that poetry is "easy" = potential for a lot of "I feel" or "I think deep thoughts" poetry.

2. I haven't written any poetry (save random word poetry for Camii) in nearly two years. I'm rusty.

On the bright side, I know a lot of fun people will be in class, so - however, the potential difficulties fall - there should be a good group dynamic.

Are you saying that people who write "I think deep thoughts" poetry are lousy poets? I do that! All of my thoughts are deep, deep, deep! Like the sea! The Sea is Me!

Don't be a smartass, Jenny. Else I may have to smack you.
