Please prepare to bring the following items to class next week:
Search in your home for materials that you have multiples of (a dozen or more). They do not have to be identical but if they are that's fantastic! They may be 2-D or 3-D. The dozen or more that you collect should fit inside a quart sized ziplock bag.
examples that I know I have in my house: envelopes, toothpicks, q-tips, teabags
Repeat with a different object.
Find a poem from one of your favorite poets, or find a new favorite. Go outside your comfort zone and the "canon" -- introduce us to a new voice!
