I ask them to take a poem
and hold it up to the light
like a color slide

or press an ear against its hive.

I say drop a mouse into a poem
and watch him probe his way out,

or walk inside the poem's room
and feel the walls for a light switch.

This Week

  • We're likely to begin with Bronte's Villette in Novel and Modernity. E-text here.
  • In Modernism, AG is going to start with Hopkins.
  • We're still on Aristophanes' Frogs in Comedy.
  • And in Macbeth, we're still doing Macbeth. 

This isn't strictly on syllabus; but a post on why we I study English literature. I'm curious about what you guys think.
