Literature Entry Week 3

The only source of knowledge is experience

-          Albert Einstein

So I’ve come to notice that so far, it seems to me, all of the works we have touched on have two major things in common:

1)      Obviously that they are of the 20th Century

And,

2)      They all draw on some experience of the authors.

Hopkins. Sassoon. Brooke. Cannan. Owens.

Hey Shell
I think your poem is beautiful. I get the impression from reading it that it is a very personal thing, and so i feel a kind of discomfort commenting on it on it like this, or mentioning how great i think it is in a literary sense, but i just wanted to let you know i think your wrote it beautifully, and that you are pretty brave for being able to share something so personal in the first place. It feels odd to say i 'liked it', because its obviously discussing your pain, but i still enjoyed reading it- if you get what i mean?
im going to stop talking now. but yeah- it really is a touching poem.

wow

Wow, Michelle....what can I say. You certainly have the ability to take the reader on an experience, even if it was unintentional. I agree with Bec in that you are very brave for sharing such a piece. Often, we think to ourselves 'who am I to express myself creatively." Well, as a wise fellow once told me, "who are you NOT to." You have done this so well, words just cant express. You have done yourself proud, so congratulations.
