"There's not a lot of math in poetry, and I wanted to do something about that." Looking at a crime scene photo from the 1930s showing a man in the middle of a fall to his death, Heidi Czerwiec saw the parabola of the movement and created the most interesting of the poems she shared with last week's Tuesday session of Literary Lunches. Blending philosophy with geometry while adding in the lyricism found in her other readings, Czerwiec demonstrated how poetry could be created anywhere. The implications for poetry in other academic disciplines are intriguing!
An associate professor of Literature and Creative Writing at UND as well as the Director of the UND Writer's Conference, Czerwiec shared other contemporary poets and discussed how students could become published themselves.

ReplyDeleteWhere can I find her poems? I would love to read them and perhaps get some ideas on how poetry can be used in my classes.
