Spring Quarter Field Study Proposal
I will participate in all class activities throughout the week to include a weekly session in Calculated Poetics while continuing to work on a final My Poet’s research paper based on the life and poetry of Theodore Roethke. My research paper will include a cento poem where I will collect lines and passages from the collected work of Roethke and place them in a new Unoriginal piece while also including a chapter dedicated to the conversation between Roethke and myself. I will be keeping a log of weekly activities while tracking my progress through updates to the eAlphabet to include Reveries based on the reading of Neuro and poetry created throughout the quarter. I will also post the works created throughout the Calculated Poetics sessions spring quarter.
