In class, we determined the letters should be less than or equal to a page long, typed. We also determined that there were two good ways to focus our letters: We can interrogate the poem, leaving like/dislike out, guided by the questions on xxvii in Burroway OR We can say what we like/dislike, what works/doesn't work, as long as we are detailed and specific about why. Also, the writer would like you to describe your reaction upon reading it. Also, the writer would like you to tell them what you think the poem conveys. 10/28 Workshop Due Friday: Burroway 273-284, three quotes to put on board and discuss Please bring in copies of your letters!
