Emma Corwin wrote a new blog post Definition: poetry in the group The Contemporary Poem: 8 years, 5 months ago

So I’ve been asking myself this question since my last post and thought I’d bring it up here. Reading through other posts put up this week, I saw that Henry actually mentioned the same thing I’ve been thinking in […]
Emma Corwin wrote a new blog post A Review on Matthew Dickman’s “Wonderland” in the group The Contemporary Poem: 8 years, 5 months ago

Matthew Dickman’s Wonderland is an intense display of what a writer can see in our world and how they can deliver that insight to others. The poems in this book revolve around themes of childhood, race, and v […]
Emma Corwin wrote a new blog post “I am a poet” in the group The Contemporary Poem: 8 years, 6 months ago

I’m sure I’ve said this more than once before, but I’ll say it again: I love music. So much that I wonder why I’m not interested in being a musician. My oldest memories of music involve family movie nights and my […]
Emma Corwin edited the blog post Ambiguity in the group The Contemporary Poem: 8 years, 6 months ago

I’d been meaning to go hunting through my room for a past class book, and today I was excited to find that I still have it. It was a book I used in my first creative writing workshop back in 2013: In the Palm of Your Hand: The Poet’s Portable Workshop by Steve Kowit. In it, I rediscovered a poem I had liked. After reading the poem and Kowit…[Read more]
Emma Corwin edited the blog post When Poetry Goes Silent in the group The Contemporary Poem: 8 years, 6 months ago

During this first month into the semester, I’ve been working to focus more on how sound is used in poetry. In the past, I had a habit of reading poems in my head. I might be able to “hear” the words in my mind, but I’ll notice more of the creativity in sound when I read it out loud.

But this morning, I was reminded of something else. I had…[Read more]
Emma Corwin wrote a new blog post “Horses to be Broken” in the group The Contemporary Poem: 8 years, 7 months ago

I’ve recently been thinking about the poem from Carey McHugh’s American Gramophone that my group observed in class this week. The poem was “Death (as a Woman) Comes for the Draughtsman” on page 54. I remember we […]
Emma Corwin wrote a new blog post Why I Came Here in the group The Contemporary Poem: 8 years, 7 months ago

As I’ve been thinking about what I took from Monday night’s “whirlwind” workshop, I realized I sort of relearned the things I keep forgetting; the things that are important to me. I hadn’t been able to take any […]
Emma Corwin wrote a new blog post Through Sound in the group The Contemporary Poem: 8 years, 7 months ago

Over the last week, my thoughts have been lingering on a single idea that was brought up in class (though I can’t remember how or by whom): can a poem deliver meaning by sound alone? Can words be paired in a way […]
Emma Corwin edited the blog post Futuristic Story or “Dug Up” Journal? in the group American Studies: 9 years, 4 months ago

After our returning discussion about last week’s class exercise of walking around campus, I remembered my first reactions to it. Though I had considered possible spots for shelter (looking for both shelter from bad weather and from watching people), I mostly noticed how it made me generally feel. Because I was looking for shelter, I was looking u…[Read more]
Emma Corwin edited the blog post Just a Bit of Appreciation in the group American Studies: 9 years, 5 months ago

I don’t have any ideas on how Dominion might relate to the housing crisis yet, but I’m finding this book to be interesting in other ways. It is certainly a slow read; long and heavy. However, I do enjoy the language. It’s wonderful overall, but every so often there’s a moment when I pause and reread a piece of the language I especially like. It…[Read more]
