Hi All--
You've reached the class blog for English 42. Always check here for announcements and updates.
Always read my posts before writing essays.
You may also add your own voice, by either posting a blog of your own, or choosing a blog from one of your fellow bloggers (list to right; more names will appear as blog URLs are submitted) and adding your two cents (or two bucks--adjusted for inflation--)
Remember: if you are writing a blog, post only blog comments on the blogs; exercises should be emailed, and journals uploaded to TII
BTW--please don't leave comments for me here--though you can email w/questions...

Bishop and Williams:
See my comments on More Blogs from Previous Classes at right (second set). For those of you blogging on Bishop, esp. Richard Capozzi's, Stephen Martinez's, and Michael Curro's blogs in blogs from previous classes. Although most writers blogged on Bishop, Constanza Rehren and William Lane wrote blogs on WCW on which I briefly commented (comment on Constanza's blog most pertinent). My comments are posted under "tl."
The last few lines of "Full of Sound..." also make a useful point about "The Fish," taken in context of the poem's overall conflict (see study sheets); Bobby Grazi's blog makes in interesting personal connection to the same poem.
To access older posts on the blogs from previous classes, scroll down to and click on the year, appearing either in the right or left frame. Clicking on "2010," for eg., will bring up all the posts for the year; then, scroll down to find earlier posts.
Also, be sure to review the study sheet for Bishop and Williams, posted to Blackboard, for insights into the themes/concerns of poems for both poets. The quotes on the study sheets are excerpted from articles on MAP and LRC (see course syllabus); search for the complete articles in these databases.
Look over the exercises on Blackboard, as well, which can provide additional guidance and practice in literary analysis.
Katie Ford's essay on Bishop, "Visibility Is Poor..." (Poets.org), is also insightful (esp pars. 4, beginning "According to Bishop..." through 8, beginning "Bishop's challenge...)
Again, for all poets we read this semester, always review my opening blog comments, as well as my comments on current and previous blogs before writing journals; the combination of blogs, study sheets, exercises and critical articles will provide an analytical framework for your journals.
Ready? Good blogging...or at least, reading....
