Hey everyone, this is also my first time using a blog and my first time taking an official poetry class. Although, I have been writing poetry or blurbs for a very long time. I am very much looking forward to learning and developing as a poet through this class, and I can see this happening already. The muse work I find trouble with at times. Because, I am not sure if I am letting myself "run with the midget" but, I think it has been getting better as the class goes on. My favorite poet is Galway Kinnell, I went to poetry reading of his and it was one of the most inspiring things I had ever been too. He is an amazing poet, and I love the topics he writes about in his poems. He has the amazing technique of delving into deep issues through simple manners, and questioning human nature in a beautiful way. My all time favorite poem of his is "Saint Francis and the Sow," I was lucky and got to hear what inspired it, but it is just a beautiful poem. Anyways, looking forward to learning lots of new techniques for my own poetry writing!
