Day Nineteen / 10.04.10

Today we started with a quote from W.S. Merwin: "I think there's a kind of desperate hope built into poetry now that one really wants, hopelessly, to save the world.” We talked about hopeless hope, then journaled on whether or not we can save the world. After that, we peer edited our rough drafts. Then we read silently, and then talked about converting cliches.
