For this 2nd week, we read the 3rd and 4th sections: Earth Eyes and Memoria.
Here are a few questions to get us started:
In Earth Eyes, what do you see are the main themes and how do they relate to the collection's title, Call Us What We Carry?
Gorman has a lot of visual forms for her poems, how do they impact your enjoyment of the poems?
In Memoria, what do you think Gorman is saying about memory and the act of remembering?
What are some of your favorite lines or poems in these two sections?
I’ll be monitoring the comments and replying throughout the weekend. Can’t wait to see what everyone thinks.
