Poetry Reading Challenge

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.
