For Friday, November 7, please read the L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poetry selections as outlined in the post below.

Your third and final modeling poem will consist of writing an experimental poem using one of the ideas from Charles Bernstein's list of poetry experiments, located here: http://writing.upenn.edu/bernstein/experiments.html

Your analysis should provide a 500-word discussion about how your experimental poem/experimental poetry challenges "mainstream" notions about language, poetry, art, and ideology, and whether or not you believe these challenges are, ultimately, successful.
