Week 1: Time
What is the “time” of the poem?
By now you have selected a poem that you will use as a jumping off point for this symposium.
Identify the poem’s temporal element. Consider its duration, its moment, its progression, its pace, its beginning, and/or its end.
Use any means or media (a written explanation, a series of images, a video, another poem, a song, a hypermedia piece, or something completely new) to communicate your insights about the “time” of the poem to the rest of the group. Your contribution can be witty or obvious, straight or unconventional. You can be concrete or abstract. Just think about the poem and the time it represents. And then do whatever the hell you want to.
Note: If you want to read about time, start with the Wikipedia entry, here.
Post your results by the end of the week (July 8th). And have lots of fun doing it.
