October 3rd--Kerouac

September 6--O'Hara and Ginsberg

The poetry of everyday life, anti-poetry, stream-of-consciousness: how do we want to characterize the poems we've read this week? Do you like the poems? Do the work? Do they make sense? What passages do you want to look at as we try to answer these questions?

September 19--Mailer and O'Connor

Race, violence, and trauma. This should be a fun week! What did you like, what made you angry, what should we discuss? Please note which time your section is.
