Introduction to Creative Writing (King)

Stockton Community,

As we rapidly approach another end to a semester, Residential Life wanted to make you aware of some important options that are open to students who have finals on the last day of the semester, are graduating, or would like to stay for winter break. Students may request a 24 hour extension to move out of their housing location if they have a final on December 11, 2012. Graduating seniors are permitted to stay until Sunday, December 16, 2012 until 6:00PM in order to move out. Also, students who would like to stay over the winter break may apply, however they must pay a $20 per day rate for the winter break. If a student cannot afford the $20 per day rate and has nowhere to go please have them contact me to explore available options. Students, primarily freshmen, who live in Housing 2 or 3 are not permitted to stay for winter break due to a lack of a kitchen in their room. However, if a student in Housing 2 or 3 does not have a place to go for the winter break, please have them contact me and I can explore alternative arrangements. Students can complete an electronic form to for extended stay, graduation, or for winter break by clicking on the link below. Please let any students you know about these options Residential Life provides. Thank you again for your support throughout the semester.

Anne wanted people to know about this reading:

Sunday November 18th “Poetry on High”: Original Poetry and Music 1:30-4:30PM. Featured poets g emil and Diane Sahms Guarnieri also there.

For those of you who wanted to do an open mic, there’s the Dante Hall open mic series. There’s also an open mic series, Andrea says, at the Campus Center Coffee House–there’s one tomorrow night at (Friday the 12th) on Bivisibility.

You should also sign up for the NJ Poetry listserv on Yahoo: you’ll get notices of all the open mics in Atlantic County in your inbox. (And more, actually).

We’ll have a reading of the class’ work at the end of term. That’ll be fun.

For the fiction unit, you will need to hand in a 3-5 double spaced page story OR two fully revised things you wrote with the help of prompts in the book (also 3-5 pages double spaced).

There’s an amazing and huge poetry festival in Newark next weekend. Emari DiGiorgio who teaches the other intro section and I will be reading alongside some of our personal heroes. NJ Transit has offered $10 round trip train or bus tickets to Newark for anyone going to the Dodge Festival. Think about it!

If you want to go, I will pay for your bus ticket. Just give me the receipt.

There is a Meet and Greet for all new and interested Literature majors in F-115 at 4:30 today. Come by and get to talk to the LITT faculty and find out about opportunities within the program. Click here to get on the LITT department’s Facebook page.

Thanks!

To find the poems for workshopping, please go to the homework page and look up the homework for this coming Tuesday, 10/2.

It is very early on Sunday and I will be getting on a plane soon for about 6-8 hours so I am posting the first four peoples’ poems so that you can print and comment on them if you have a block of time for that today.
