[|Revell Interview]

March 5th and 6th

One thing that you will be doing for this unit is to analyze a poet's understanding of his or her own poetry or of his or her understanding of poetry in general (this is known as a poet's poetics). There are several ways to understand a poet's poetics. A few ways are to read essays he or she has written about poetry, listen/read interviews given by the poet, and read much of his or her poetry while focusing on recurring themes, images, and ideas that appear. The following is an lecture given by the poet Donald Revell. Your objective is to gain an understanding of his poetics so that you will be able to summarize what his understanding of poetry is and point out examples of that understanding in his poetry. As you listen/view, write down ten statements made by Revell that you feel describe his poetics (personal understanding about poetry) and then summarize his poetics in a half page after you have listened to the entire lecture (this last part can be done in your groups)--you will turn this in on Wednesday or Thursday along with your homework. Your homework is to find a poem online written by Donald Revell in the last ten years. While you read the poem, you must make ten annotations and then summarize what you think the poem is trying to communicate. After you have read the poem several times, made your annotations, and summarized the poem, you will TYPE a 250-word double-spaced response about how the poem communicates in some way what he described about his poetics in his lecture.
