PERMISSIONS: To view the blog, post on it, and comment on posts, you must be invited. I will send you an email invitation to join the blog, and then you must follow the instructions to join up and begin posting. You can't join the blog without first creating a Google account.
POSTING: Post your poems by clicking "New Post" at the top right of the page. Paste your poem into the window.
LABELING: Then label the post with the assignment name (i.e., "confessional poem," "sonnet," etc.), your name (i.e., "Tony Barnstone," etc.), and the week (i.e., "week one," "week two," but not "week 1"--spell out your numbers). If you post a poem in week two that is due in week three, label it "week three." When you begin to type in a label, the program will fill it in for you, so your post will be labeled with the rest of the poems in the same category.
COMMENTING: Afterwards, you can "comment" on the posts of your classmates. Post "group one" and "group two" one-page critical responses as "comments" on the posted poems, but also print out copies for me and for the poet and give them to us in class.
A Bus in Madurai
Dented metal, chipped paint,
Overflowing people
Crowd in
inflation.
Bodies of life and chrome tip and dip
forty five degrees
towards the stacking, forgotten
shops and shop keepers
slows and goes
off and off
on and on
always.
