Thanks for checking the blog!
I don't have any specific HW for you. I just want you to think about how you'll put your poems together (Folder due 5/24!).
I have a few blank books for sale ($1.00 each) if you're interested in using one for your poems instead of a folder.
Need more free choice ideaas? These are from Charles Bernstein's "66 Examples" website.
