After reading the clean shirt of it and framing ourselves, as readers, as accomplices to the poet/their speaker, […]

I find the blend of conceptual and physical metaphor really appealing; an idea is not […]

(Genre), on the site The Contemporary Poem https://sunygeneseoenglish.org/activity/p/10954/ Fri, 26 Oct 2018 04:31:51 -0500 I’ll be in the CNF workshop next semester, too, if that gives you any comfort. In many ways I felt like poetry was my branching out as I’m most comfortable working in CNF, which I realized only after going through […]

]]> 0 1dc3d9a592045a84a0040637427f6ede Daniel Fleischman edited the blog post Articulate Arguments in the group The Contemporary Poem https://sunygeneseoenglish.org/activity/p/10953/ Fri, 26 Oct 2018 02:57:07 -0500 Maybe I’m just not that argumentative, but argument(/persuasion?) never occurred to me as a motivation for writing poetry before. Well, that’s not entirely true. I think we’re all always trying to argue, if not […]

]]> 0 45791b9aa92e5e6440414e6494225f31 Daniel Fleischman commented on the post, "Scissor" Through, on the site The Contemporary Poem https://sunygeneseoenglish.org/activity/p/10911/ Wed, 17 Oct 2018 05:19:58 -0500 “The poems call on you to look harder at the world, whilst also saying that your view is only ever occluded.”

For quite a few of the poems (mainly in the “Syntax”) section, I found myself having to work at […]

]]> 0 b103ec7733ea4819a5fbea54e68c8a84 Daniel Fleischman edited the blog post Through, Syntax, Page 44, X. in the group The Contemporary Poem https://sunygeneseoenglish.org/activity/p/10910/ Wed, 17 Oct 2018 05:02:36 -0500 I’ll think I’ll talk all little on one of the poems that really stuck out out to me in David Herd’s Through. On page 44 in the section “Syntax,” the poem “X.” really pushed me into a head space preoccupied with […]

Weird, I Know., on the site The Contemporary Poem https://sunygeneseoenglish.org/activity/p/10864/ Fri, 12 Oct 2018 02:52:52 -0500 I’m gonna take this opportunity to gush about word puzzles, which as Natalie said has some really cool interactions with form but, to be honest, I just think they’re really fun.

When I was younger, my […]

]]> 0 9f24e5a2712366bd5d04762b3e604ada Daniel Fleischman wrote a new blog post Paper or... pixels? in the group The Contemporary Poem https://sunygeneseoenglish.org/activity/p/10863/ Fri, 12 Oct 2018 02:31:45 -0500 I’m just gonna pose a question and give my answer since I can’t think of any good segues.

On what medium do you write poems?

All the talk on form, paper receipt rolls in class, and my compulsions to […]

]]> 0 08cfc089b0993342634f761fc31607d8 Daniel Fleischman commented on the post, Regret, on the site The Contemporary Poem https://sunygeneseoenglish.org/activity/p/10820/ Wed, 03 Oct 2018 02:54:40 -0500 I’ve never thought about thinking of college as a job, but I think I think of college as a job, too. What a good observation. I think I treat most things like a job. I need to get out of the habit of obligation. […]

]]> 0 a6bf83fe981235c2eaf57e18580df91d Daniel Fleischman wrote a new blog post More than one way to scan a cat in the group The Contemporary Poem https://sunygeneseoenglish.org/activity/p/10818/ Wed, 03 Oct 2018 02:30:20 -0500 I have a confession: I kinda really like scansion. From past experiences with poetry, I always felt meters and feet and stress were the drier elements that the old traditional people at the poetry headquarters […]

]]> 0 e6dc5df6790ad235b4496ffc03eff061 Daniel Fleischman commented on the post, Brevity, pt. II, on the site The Contemporary Poem https://sunygeneseoenglish.org/activity/p/10779/ Wed, 26 Sep 2018 02:49:18 -0500 Brevity is quite the conundrum for me. It’s a double-edged sword. It’s the soul of wit, but also the dialect of the demagogue (that one’s mine). It lends authority rhetorically, but robs authority […]

]]> 0 9a787a939558f2fa2814f821f932a063 Daniel Fleischman wrote a new blog post Math is hard in the group The Contemporary Poem https://sunygeneseoenglish.org/activity/p/10778/ Wed, 26 Sep 2018 02:18:03 -0500 Can we talk about numbers? Yeah, yeah, It’s nobodies favorite, but I think we can agree everything has value, mathematical or otherwise.

I can’t seem to jump the gap in how certain numerical stanzas can inform […]

]]> 0 84ce06a849262c0c0b9f09e8d239a520 Daniel Fleischman commented on the post, Week 3: Being a TA for Intro to Creative Writing, on the site The Contemporary Poem https://sunygeneseoenglish.org/activity/p/10724/ Wed, 19 Sep 2018 04:03:26 -0500 The thought of teaching anyone anything has me petrified. Especially with something like creative writing, I have a hard time actually articulating my thoughts in such an up-in-the-air manner like speaking. I […]

]]> 0 9d8dc29deaa424d3dc83bb6bc1e477a6 Daniel Fleischman wrote a new blog post The naive poet and erotic poetry in the group The Contemporary Poem https://sunygeneseoenglish.org/activity/p/10719/ Wed, 19 Sep 2018 03:41:35 -0500 Okay, so this may get a little personal, but I feel like reasoning through a topic that always leaves me a little perplexed: eroticism.

Poetry has a history with this subject and we’ve read a few poems that […]

]]> 0 abe76f9f1b2d276fc03f899efef1171d Daniel Fleischman commented on the post, Reflections on Form, on the site The Contemporary Poem https://sunygeneseoenglish.org/activity/p/10621/ Wed, 12 Sep 2018 03:13:09 -0500 You’ve articulated a lot of the same insecurities I have about poetry. Thanks for that. But in all seriousness, I wouldn’t be surprised if this uncertainty ever goes away (If it has for someone, I’d like to meet […]

]]> 0 448ef1915a6e179f8cef07abd94d5fa2 Daniel Fleischman wrote a new blog post A to B and back again in the group The Contemporary Poem https://sunygeneseoenglish.org/activity/p/10620/ Wed, 12 Sep 2018 02:43:24 -0500 A little paragraph that stuck out to me in this week’s reading in A Little Book on Form (specifically the “How Free Verse Works” chapter) was when Hass recollects a conversation with Stanley Kunitz on formalized […]

I’m not proud or satisfied with the work per se, but I think there’s something there whether it be in the content or rhythm or single metaphor. Lately, I’ve been […]

Hopefully, this will serve as a baseline for myself, a point of reflection for my […]
