How The Tolerance Project works
MFA poems written for class will be posted on this blog. Poetic DNA barcodes for the traces used in each poem appear at the end of each MFA poem post. Click on the barcodes to reveal the donor identities and poetic DNA traces.
This collaboration includes you. The online public is welcome to use the comments field to give constructive feedback on The Tolerance Project poems. You are also very welcome to browse The Tolerance Project Archive and create your own MFA poems. Post them on the Archive site and if we like them, we may even bring them to class for feedback.
Based on cumulative feedback received within and without the institution, the MFA poems will be scrupulously revised toward the creation of The Writing Thesis.

I think it's fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI'm particularly partial to affirming the half curled frond. I wonder if tomorrow's community of meaning will be a walled community.
ReplyDeleteSomething that's interesting about some of your poems here: you present them in a 'layout' -- i.e. not in a default typescript font and layout. That gives a very different effect and asks for a different kind of reception.
Thanks, becca!
ReplyDeleteAnd Gary, I post some as images simply because I can't make Blogger do certain things, like justify text blocks properly. I do kinda like that when you click on the image, the poem looms huge...
I don't get how putting Rich and Goebbels into the same poem does not qualify as automatically meaningful and make us all the target audience, but that's just me I suppose, like his hopyness and nobel peace it makes sense to some.

I am not convinced that the words "Let's Roll" constitute imagery. I am pretty sure that I have been targeted by your audience. I have particular difficulty, at times, understanding today's bureaucracies, but I trust that tomorrow's communities of meaning will not fail to omit us all. I don't 'get', for example, a tie or a belt buckle for X mas -- the "Church" of your classmates is meaningful, for someone, but I can't find much to hold it together besides its instruction manual discipline of the self.
