In chapter 57 and 58 of
Poem Crazy Wooldridge says, "I write to catch myself...I exist when I write poems, I learn I'm larger than I thought...Where I end and where I begin, the boundaries of who I see myself to be, disappear when I'm writing poems." She talks about "caterpillar poets" and the concept of changing throughout life. She says she writes poems and they help with the awareness of life shifts from one place to another and sometimes it is like coming out of a cocoon. I hope this semester you ventured out of your cocoon a few times with you poems. For your final blog I would like you to think about the practice from chapter 58 and some of the irreversible changes you have gone through and are currently going through for the Seniors. Using your notes or a poem you created already from practice 58 create your final poem about an irreversible change.
