Review Assignment #2 (4-5 pages) DUE April 21st
You may draw from a Columbia College publication such as Columbia Poetry Review,New American Writing,South Loop Review, Hair Trigger, or Echo Magazine. Or you could go to your local bookstore or newsstand and find a piece within a literary journal. The library also carries a number of journals, such as: The Paris Review, Glimmer Train, Calyx, and Triquarterly. Magazines such as Harper's,The Atlantic Monthly, or The New Yorker also contain contemporary poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction.
You are free to approach this review in any way you want, utilizing whatever tone, creative style, and approach you deem best for your chosen book, story, or poem. At the least, I hope you will all utilize some of what we’ve discussed in class and some of our readings (in terms of approaches, theories, ideas, and/or issues that were brought up) as an approach or access point through which to read and/or attempt to critique or understand your chosen text. But I’m giving you all the freedom to “review” as you see fit. Please feel free to email me with any questions.
** Always, always back up your thoughts with some example, quote, or explanation. |
