Week Three: Amanda Gorman’s Call Us What We Carry Read-a-Long
For this 3rd week, we read the Atonement section.
Here are a few questions to get us started:
1. What was your favorite poem in this section?
2. Erasure poems modify current text to create something new or highlight a particular theme. What impact does this form have on these poems?
3. Gorman offers a great deal of background to these found poems in footnotes and elsewhere, how did or did it not affect your reading of the poems?
I’ll be monitoring the comments and replying throughout the weekend. Can’t wait to see what everyone thinks.
