In Lieu of an Etude
Instead of an etude for next week, Mar 4, post a sample of current work you intend to include in your portfolio. That way we can spend part of class time talking to each other about your work and perhaps even writing on it. Since we have a fair amount of reading to do, I think it will be fine to skip a week. Remember that a draft of your portfolio is due after spring break.

I am only posting one very, very small piece. I will bring more stuff to class.

ReplyDeleteclaire,
ReplyDeleteI am working on two projects. One is taking random lines from my fiances various military handbooks and then reworking them. The other is about aging and death in America. It's the harder of the two. These are rough pieces to give you an idea of what I'm doing.

Be a private again
You know the least in the first 100 days
You are most at risk now
The long history of Iraq recognizes you are foreign to her pages
She expresses emotion is a forceful, exaggerated fashion
She blames you
Paranoia and the importance of unit over self
You will not admit defeat-
You cannot claim success
Her children teach
Knowledge comes at you –who are not always adult
Her history has been written over yours
Tied to a chair
TV on.
She was a teacher once.
Frankie, are you alright?
She can walk.
Haladol makes her forget that.
Makes her easier to deal with.
Frankie are you alright?
Don’t want to lose her, now.
Or think about her ever.
She’s someone’s mother, you know.
Frankie are you alright?
She was someone’s wife once, too.
Young nurses pack her
away with their own mortality
Frankie’s been dead for 5 years.
Frankie, are you alright? She asks.
Tied to a chair.
TV on.
Her name is Erma.
She was a teacher once.
