Today we shared poetry which spoke to various elements identified in Writing about Literature. Each students shared a poem or two or three. Most used other sources, although John took his from Indivisible. The comments on were insightful as we listened or read aloud.
I shared poetry from Indivisible as well, a few poets whose work I like, such as M. Hajratwala's Angerfish (46-50); and his Miss Indo-American dreams (51); Generica (52) and America (52-53); Chitra B.D.'s Yuba City School (54-56; Indian Movie, New Jersey; Sejal Shah's Everybody's Greatest Hits (62-63); Independence, Iowa (64-65); Maya Khosla's Oppenheimer quotes The Bhagavad Gita is also great (16-17). I like all her work. Tanuja Mehotra's Song for New Orleans is interesting (25-29); Sasha Kamini Parmasad's Burning (91-92); Ro Gunetilleke's Spirited Away (100-101); Amitava Kumar's Mistaken Identity (102-105) and Against Nostalgia (106-110); Sachin B. Patel's In the Business of Erasing History (111-112); and his The Blacktop Gospels (112-116); Busra Rehman's At the Museum of Natural History (118-119) and The Difference (119); Shailja Patel's Shilling Love (120-124); and his Love Poem for London (128); Sudeep Sen's Jacket on a Chair (131-132); Aimee's Fishbone (134-135).
I stop at Faisal Mohyddin.
Bring your book Indivisible to class on Thursday. Also bring Persepolis.
