Today I am studying poetry
Today I am studying poetry. At the big conference I am presenting a paper on Anne Sexton--one who is beloved by angsty teenagers and sorely neglected by critics. I have just read all of William Carlos Williams's Spring and All again in preparation for exams. It energizes me. And makes me sad that my dissertation is not on poetry. I know that I will spend the next two years (?) on the big project and have no time for poetry.

It's a shame, isn't it? I know what you mean. I always wanted to work on poetry, but it is very challenging to think of a dissertation topic centered on poetry--especially poetry by different poets. I have to be content with mentioning Eliot in the conclusion. :(
