Close Reading assignment discussion
After hearing the class struggle with so many different ideas about each poem read and discussed in class, I would like to comment quickly on how amazing it is to me to listen to my fellow classmates speak about each assigned poem. I found myself saying "Why didn't I see it this way?" or "Now I do see it that way, that makes sense." For me, Williams is not an easy poet to understand but it seems easier when a group of people tackle the same thing together. As for our close reading assignment, I don't believe I would change anything I found in my own poem, "Portrait of a Woman in Bed" on page 87, but I do wish we talked about this one in class also, just so that I may hear other ideas about how to approach this poem.

I'm glad to hear that you find the discussion useful. In that "working out" of our ideas, we learn more and more to "see it that way" or to see the many ways possible in our own reading!
