“A Whole New Poetry Beginning Here”: Claiming Language For Survival In The Works Of Adrienne Rich, Joy Harjo And Mitsuye Yamada, Christine Beyer

WWU Honors College Senior Projects

Audre Lorde has said “Poetry is not a luxury”; Adrienne Rich writes “Poetry is. . . survival.” (What is Found. . . 215). Poetry is a conscientious act, a recording of our understanding of our world, our experience, and of our very existence.

Firefly Curios and Sundry Lights contains 33 poems and 55 pages, mostly free verse lyric narratives issuing from various geographic, emotional, and temporal landscapes.

Other concerns include speculations about existence, observations of nature, and the importance of science as a means of apprehending the world. The work reveals a belief in the interconnectedness …

Word Into Idea: The Four-Column Association And The Placket, Stephen W. Fried

Publications and Research

Two aleatory exercises in experimental poetry and prose for face-to-face classrooms are described step-by-step, In the first, a round-robin of word associations provides a lexicon from which first a poem and then a prose piece are generated and optionally shared. In the second, participants compile lists of rhyming words that are transferred to templates that position the rhyming words among blanks to be filled in. The sequence generates first a four-line poem from two triple rhymes, then a six-line poem from three triple rhymes and finally a ten-line poem from five quintuple rhymes. Results are shared on a voluntary basis.
