Dickinson 2

Read poems 107, 187, 45, and 498. Poem 498 is long and challenging, and this poem will be the focus of your blog post. Your blog post should use one of the other poems to help figure out poem 498, and it should reference a previous post. I'm looking for half an hour of serious engagement.

107: “The nearest Dream recedes – unrealized”

187: “Except the Heaven had come so near

45: “Did the Harebell loose her girdle”

498:  “What mystery pervades a well!”

Dickinson #1

In this first post, simply free-write for 20-30 minutes on one of the following poems you read tonight: 142, 327, 374, 54. Start your post with the number of the poem you've chosen.

Your post should touch on three things: something specific you understand, something specific you do not understand, and an idea about the poem as a whole.

I'm grading these only on the seriousness and effort you apply to them.

Due before the start of class Thursday.
