Plath, Poetry, and The Bell Jar

Please complete the following today:

1. Please post a response to The Bell Jar on your blog.
2. Please select and read 5 Sylvia Plath poems from the link below. Respond on your blog to reading these poems. What do you notice about Plath's writing?
3. The Found Poem exercise:

Using the 5 poems you read, select words and phrases to reconstruct your own poem using any part or word from the poems you selected or The Bell Jar. You may change tense and forms of verbs, plural to singular, etc.

This kind of poem is called a "Found Poem" and is a legitimate poetry form, as well as a good technique to use when you are creatively "dry" or stuck.

HOMEWORK: Continue the Bell Jar. There will be a discussion Wednesday and Friday on what you've read so far.
