9/30

I liked in Smith's intro of the chapter that she talked about music. I didn't quite think that poetry could do the same things (i.e. repetition). Example 3.8 was particularly interesting to me; it reminded me of Greek plays where the chorus would chant lines. So that had a somewhat musical quality to me. Also, for 3.8, I liked that some of the lines would change the implications of the lines that had come before it.

I also had an issue with opening Stein.

Sleeping With the Dictionary was interesting. The way she connected similar sounds and words was cool. The words were also (occasionally) connected in themes.
