JayTee, I'm sure you've g...Jessie, I know!<br /><br />JayTee, I'm sure you've got interesting stuff lined up for next semester. What are you taking as your next elective?<br /><br />Tory, the film class sounds interesting, especially with D.A. Powell's work enacting that kind of movement. And I don't think I've heard anyone use the word montage when describing movement in a poem, yet I feel like I should have. Cool stuff.<br /><br />But yeah, kennings are pretty tight (whale-road being an excellent example). That's too bad about your roommate (although yes, also funny). He probably has a bad instructor for OE--I think most language/literature/translation classes are so weird and niche that the teacher becomes central to its success/enjoyability.Joshua Gottlieb-Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16562233353440767788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1396226836483140641.post-75793640195186376272009-11-16T12:19:52.606-08:002009-11-16T12:19:52.606-08:00makes me want to go back and read some chaucer :)makes me want to go back and read some chaucer :)Jessie Cartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13181286764480973423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1396226836483140641.post-44217891198985026792009-11-16T04:33:11.039-08:002009-11-16T04:33:11.039-08:00I took a lit journal editing class as my one elect...I took a lit journal editing class as my one elective so I am only commenting here to say that I am jealous! lolJayTeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02923700657540655227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1396226836483140641.post-80307807525754598892009-11-15T23:54:56.932-08:002009-11-15T23:54:56.932-08:00This is a great topic.

I am trying to play with sequence and editing in weird ways, cutting together fragments almost like a montage. Well, in a few poems anyway. I have been reading D.A. Powell lately who has a similarly driven aesthetic in some of his books.<br /><br />Those compounding words you are talking about are called kennings right? My favorite is whale-road from Beowulf. On a somewhat related note Josh, one of my fellow first years is taking Old English and...hating it! Hahaha. Glad to know there's a living poet out there not suffering, but enjoying, such a class!insertbracketshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07980404937296101384noreply@blogger.com
