Very moody

November 2, 2011 by Kathleen Rooney

It’s that magical time of the quarter again when students in my Reading Poetry class at DePaul demonstrate their appreciation and understanding of a contemporary poetry collection–in moodboard form. Today’s presentations included this one on Allen Ginsberg’s Howl:

…and this one on Charles Simic’s The Book of Gods and Devils, which was done entirely on Powerpoint–Powerpoint, people!

Not to mention this one on Derek Wolcott’s The Arkansas Testament, which featured not one, but two sides, one for the book’s sections “Here”…

…and “Elsewhere”:

And last but not least, this one on Exploding Chippewas by DePaul’s very own Mark Turcotte:

Thanks to everyone who presented today for the excellent work! Stay tuned for further moodiness.
