- What piece of life is it concerned with?
- Where and when is this life being lived?
- How does the author bring originality to the moment?
Each group discussed "Digging" and either "Easter Morning" or "Daddy." Tune in tomorrow for each group's findings. In the meantime, here are a few insights from the class:
"Digging" is "an observation and introspective point of view on inheritance, responsibility, and destiny. A father's disappointment and loss is his son's progress and fulfillment. A conflict between mundane obligation and artistic calling" -- Ronaldo Bryant
"Daddy" - "I feel it more than I can understand it." -- Nhung Tran
"This particular poem was interesting to read because of the imagery, metaphors, and passion that is evident throughout. Her points are...visually expressed, which draws in the reader and paints beautiful (yet dark) mental images" - Chad Albright
We also listened to a short clip of Seamus Heaney talking about his formative years, an interview which linked nicely to "Digging." The link is below.
