We're making the transition from prose to narrative poetry in creative writing. I'm feeling much more in my enjoyable element already, so just a couple pieces I really like.
            "Loving the Hands" by Julie Suk (or anything else by Julie Suk, I love everything I've read)
            "Jet" by Tony Hoagland

(Also, it's amazing to me to see how far I've come. I started out five years ago with the roughest sense of meter and rhyme, writing poems with British accents. I may laugh at what I wrote between the times, but it's fun to be here. I appreciate any and all of the dedication of past Rachel to get me where I am now. I can't wait to see how I will have grown from now.)
