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 (6th set). For those of you writing about Bishop, esp. Richard Capozzi's, Stephen Martinez's, and Michael Curro's blogs in blogs from previous classes. Although most writers blogged on Bishop, William Lane wrote a blog entry on WCW on which I briefly commented. My comments are posted under "tl."
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. 3, beginning "Imagery that repeats itself..." through 8, beginning "Bishop's challenge...), esp regarding the self-questioning tendency of much of her imagery and its "challenge to... fixity" (see par 8, esp. Michael Sells distinction between "apophatic" and kataphatic" imagery); several image modulations in "The Fish" demonstrate a lack of "fixity." To find the essay, on poest.org [official site], enter her name in the search field, click the search icon, "then scroll down to find Katie Ford's then click on the title.
For Williams, but for image-based poetry in general including several of the poets we will read this semester: urthona.com, as noted on the Williams study sheet in assignments; read the essays on the “Red Wheelbarrow” and on free verse—“The Nymphs Departed”
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....
