    這的確是份很重的書單,但我們所選的課不也這麼重要嗎?我會要求你們定期提出對特定的詩或詩人的想法,短則五頁兩份,長則十到十二頁一份,最後在課堂上作期末報告。帶著你的問題、活力,及自動自發來上課吧。一定很有趣,但是否如此,就端看你自己了。

    Yes, it's a healthy list. But it's a big chore we've undertaken. I will be asking you to offer regular brief "reflections" on specific poems/poets, to write two short (5 page) and one longer (10-12 page) essay, and to offer a final in-class presentation. Come with questions, energy, a willingness to talk. This could be grand fun -- but much of that will depend on you.
