Day two of the presentations on collections of contemporary poetry in my Reading Poetry class at DePaul featured moodboards responding to American Smooth by Rita Dove with both a front…
…and a back, built on an issue of Daedelus from 1967…
…and to The Spirit Level by Seamus Heaney…
…and to Bluets by Maggie Nelson…
…and to The Dream Songs by John Berryman, including both a front…
..and a (terribly photographed) back, a rose petal covered bottle representing the poet’s troubled mind full of profound and beautiful thoughts:
Stay tuned for the final moodboards on Monday!
