READINGS AND ASSIGNMENTS FOR TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2006

Important!! Oral presentations due/presented today!

No assigned readings for this class meeting, as we'll be doing the in-class presentations on contemporary American poets (post-1950) this week instead. (Guidelines for presentations are outlined in the post directly below).

Please note that in lieu of your regularly-scheduled blog post in response to assigned readings, I would like for you to write an informal blog post this week on the volume of poetry that you did for your presentation this week.

Finally, here is this week’s memoir prompt from The Autobiography Box for blog posts due on Monday, October 16, 2006:

Describe a significant quarrel between yourself and a family member. What was the quarrel about? Was the quarrel ongoing over many years or an isolated incident? Did you resolve the difference or did it cause a complete break of relations? Was it violent? Do you regret the quarrel?
