Today was the first day of English 133 - Intro. to Poetry. We reviewed the syllabus and got to know one another a bit better. We have several writers in the class -- which is wonderful. When asked to identify particular areas of interest, students said Japanese haiku, macabre, the Beat poets, and Spoken Word.
For our haiku fans, this poem seems appropriate, given that today is the first day of fall:
First autumn morning:
the mirror I stare into
shows my father's face
Kijo Murakami (1865-1938)
I look forward to working with you all! Amanda
