So...as my first entry back, I'd like to share something I had to read for one of my classes--more specifically, Modern Poetry class! (please don't tune out now!) haha
Dr. Bruce gave us some articles to read about the poetics of 'redress' and 'witness' ...I won't get into all that. But among the articles he gave us was one entitled, "The Metaphorical Word" by Douglas Wilson. It was the shortest of the three he gave us...so, naturally, I went to "knock it out" first!
The first couple paragraphs did not really make sense to me. I didn't really get the direction this guy was going in and, honestly, zoning out was just easier...until he said something about God...and then I was like..."okay, maybe I should pay attention."...shortly after I couldn't stop reading it...and underlining it..and going crazy!!
It blew my mind.
Well I'm not going to give it all away, I want you to read it for yourself.
