READING!!


So we got through all the poems and will begin
again on Tuesday. READ all the poems, and with
special intensity the new poems.

We've pushed it back, but next time we will go over
Nancy's poems, and I will ask questions. In fact, I
will ask each person to say a few words about a specific
poem. And I'll do this for the rest of Abrupt Rural, as well.
Here's how this will work. Read all the poems through
page 40 in parts that were once whole and be prepared to
talk about the poem that appears after your name here:

Sarah: "This Lifetime"
Erin: "And So It Is"
Krista: "Inheritance"
Joe: "Doors Closing"
Lisa: "The Lost Serenade"
Kevin: "What It Takes"
Rebecca: "Another Passenger"
Ryan: "Skates"
Lori: "From Dust and Ashes"
MacKenzie: "Geometry"
Kristy: "Cow"
Anne: "Engaged To Be Married"
Kyle: "Grief"
Diane: "What We Do"
Nicolas: "Friday Afternoon, Turning"

Secondly, same goes for the poem listed after your name
here, from Abrupt Rural:

Sarah: "Pulse"
Erin: "Ispeming"
Krista: "Fall Again"
Joe: "The New Alphabet"
Lisa: "Rural Route"
Kevin: "Duplicate Trigger"
Rebecca: "A Little Night"
Ryan: "My Little Hard Time"
Lori: "Village After This One"
MacKenzie: "The Glacial Recession North . . ."
Kristy: "The Mailbox on Parkview"
Anne: "Indian Summer"
Kyle: "Unrecordable"
Diane: "July Garden"
Nicolas: "Gardening and Government"
