two things i can see happening: 1. me asking questions in a convicting and frustrated tone about this stupid guideline 2. write whatever the fuck i want and if i get a bad grade, i'll show it to my literary analysis prof who seems really cool and i think is awesome and is making my lit class about poetry.

1. who is your lit analylis prof? who 's your 209 ta? 2. this is why i hated 209 3. Avoid extreme sentimentality. The poem you write should not read like a diary, although you can, of course, use your journal-writing as fodder. Emotions most definitely have their place in a poem, but over-sentimentality comes off as clichéd, overdramatic--thus emotions must be harnessed by careful attention to language and craft.
This is what I had the biggest problem with, except my teacher called it being "melodramatic". Well, you know me, I'm a melodramatic person, and isn't your writing supposed to reflect your voice? WELL ISN'T IT!??!

awwww susan aiken is married to professor carroll who is now retired, but he looks like a hobbit, and i had him for 380. my friend lauren has aiken for her senior proseminar and she loves her, too.
