Millie Dies In Style: Crafting Poems In Four Poetic Styles, Dan Gleason 2012 Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy

Millie Dies In Style: Crafting Poems In Four Poetic Styles, Dan Gleason

Understanding Poetry

This exercise helps students learn about poetic style by challenging them to write poetry in different styles. To make stylistic differences most obvious, students write about the same topic in four different ways (casual, formal, depressing, whimsical). Students write poems of 4-10 lines in groups, and then they share their writings with each other. Nearly any topic may be chosen, but the topic should be a bit unusual; I like to use the tragic tale of Millie, a fictional family dog that dies suddenly by falling down an open well, to generate interest. The exercise is a fun activity that …

Through Other I'S: Las Otras, Brenda Nettles Riojas 2012 University of New Orleans

Through Other I'S: Las Otras, Brenda Nettles Riojas

LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations

The “I” speaks in each of the poems presented; but whose I? The collection explores the use of personae, and gives voice to “the other” I’s/las otras, women who came before us and those who walk among us. Sometimes in English, sometimes in Spanish, sometimes the voices cross between languages. Written primarily in free verse, the poems are ordered to allow the mingling of languages from the speakers on the page. Through other eyes, some of the characters revive the past, speak from the grave. They provide a glimpse into what lies beyond the “I.” We hear the …

Note on the Paul Query Prize portfolio published throughout this edition:

  1. Currently I'm working on an extended work titled, "Immunity." Right now I’m immersed in it. It started with my Grandmother, Holly, falling in a bed of poison ivy when she was pregnant, which led to my father's immunity to it. Yet it has evolved into so much more—a mythological tale about who I call ‘The Holy Field," and how and who it …

The Promethean, Volume 20, Bring On The Buzzards, 2012, English Department, Concordia University-Portland

The Promethean

Every year, the staff of The Promethean has the same goals. We want to create a bold journal full of quality literature and artwork. We want to push the limits of both our contributors and our readers. We want to create a memorable journal that Concordia University-Portland can be proud of.

This year, we decided to accomplish these goals by going back to our roots. We decided that we would use the story of Prometheus, our journal's namesake, as our inspiration. Prometheus was a god who saw that humans needed fire to survive. Against the will of the other gods, …
