READ THIS ! Following are brief notes dealing with the 'b' workbook poems which will be presented and discussed. These notes are preemptory ! That is, they contain the essential obvious materials that ought NOT be rehashed. You can, of course, mention all or portions of this material. You need not avoid it. However, you may not CONFINE your work to this material. Remember, you are not here to just read and enjoy poetry, save that for the coffee houses! I demand - and by God I will get - excellence of scholastic effort. There are no degrees given out for baffling rant which no intelligent being can decipher. If I cannot understand what you are, allegedly, attempting to convey, then you have failed to CONVEY - thus you have failed. Justify and ILLUSTRATE your observations. Your philosophy is fine, but relate it to that of the great thinkers. I pride myself on the destruction of students who misquote or misrepresent the notions of past works to suit their own bias. Draw from history, past poetical works (foreign language allowed), and from the entire scope of human writing. I gave an 'A+' to one submission that merely placed an author's words, in segments, below a wide photo of a well known wall of cave art. It fit ! Be as wordy as you like, but, I am impressed by truths of brevity.
