Our first order of business will be to go over questions you have about recent poems like "The Snow Man" and "Home Burial." After that, I will be discussing with you Wallace Stevens' poem "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird." Listen to it here. I know you will have questions--you should! We will deal with some of those tomorrow. What I would like you to do today is to note some of your impressions of the poem after your first reading. You will be asked to share them tomorrow.
