1-26-23 Group-2 Critiques 

 

1. Alice's piece:

 

Well, there is a lot to agree with here. Am I mistaken or was there a
previous Alice poem called: "I believe in poetry?" The piece nicely conveys
the author's love of, and commitment to writing poetry, whatever it takes.
Determination and dedication are the clearly elucidated themes within this
piece. 

 

2. Leonard's piece:

 

One of those fascinating moments when the present connects, as if via a
bridge, to a moment in the deep past. It is like the intervening years have
fallen away, enabling the bridge. This is a most interesting phenomenon that
seems to happen to most humans. Such occasions frequently have, some
specific to the situation, attendant emotions that are an important part of
the whole experience. How and why, such occurs is anybody's guess.
Personally, I think Barney had the right idea.  

 

3. Joan's piece:

 

An interesting take on "Little Red Riding Hood." Red seems to be
experiencing rapt admiration for the wolf's beauty, freedom and its comfort
with its place in the natural world. She wishes she had the same "grace."
Wolf advocacy groups have promoted children's books that eliminate the
concept of the wolf as evil. In fact, there is a book called: "The three
little wolves and the big bad pig." I kid you not! As someone who also has
great admiration and respect for wolves, I can truly relate to the desire to
be as comfortable in the world as they seem to be. 

 

4. Valerie's piece: 

 

A poetic description of what may be (not knowledgeable enough to say) a
biblical event. As I have no familiarity with the event or its implications,
I fear I am missing something important here. Just taking a totally wild
guess, does the dove represent the holy spirit bringing  the light to honor
the baptism of Jesus, thus affirming his humanity?
