For Tuesday: American Journal, Part 2: Something Shines Out From Every Darkness

 Remember to read the poems from Part 2 for Tuesday, all or any that grab your attention. Read at least a few poems more than once, and try to consider some of the ideas from Culler with regards to literature: language that calls attention to itself, is intertextual, that has purposiveness without purpose, etc. Also, examine the metaphors and see how they transform one idea/experience into another, and how that helps you experience the world in a different way.

ALSO: Be sure to read "The Split," since we'll do an in-class writing about that poem in class. If it is a poem? Can a list be a poem???
