Welcome to English 396!

Welcome to our class blog. I look forward to reading your posts here throughout the semester and your thoughts on what we're reading, what you're writing, the creative process, and your comments to one another on these topics. Enjoy!

Links to a few of the readings we'll be looking at this semester (note: These are all available--often in far more "readable" forms through the university databases):

• "The Young Housewife" and "This is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams
• "The Fish" by Marianne Moore
• Brevity Magazine
• "This Old House" by David Sedaris
