Poems

Write 1 poem in response to a poem from all of the readings, and post here. Your poetic response may take the form of a dialogue, an epistle (to the poet), an imitation (stylistic or linguistic), or may just be inspired in some way, even if not directly obvious, as an aesthetic offspring. If you’re stuck, you may select a favorite line from that poem and use it to begin your own poem or as the title of your poem (of course, giving credit).

Border Narratives

Here’s where you share your first in-class writing exercise of the semester, a brief personal narrative about 1 instance in your life when you created, crossed, bridged, inhabited, or resisted a border.
