YOU ARE REQUIRED TO
find an "out of class" activity to attend
and better still, to participate in.
You'll gain more incite into the world of poets and poetry and you may enjoy delving into the literary life. There is an active world of literature beyond books and the internet. You must attend an event such as:
 | Poetry reading |
| Author talk |
| Poetry Conference &/or Writers' gathering |
| Workshop |
| Book signing |
You are required to attend, report on and review a poetry event. Write a minimum of a paragraph up to a page not just reporting on but also reviewing the event you attended. Email your report/review to me at axelrodthepoet@yahoo.com and be sure to label your email "RE: EG 91 EVENT REVIEW".

The list of events is long and the events make a good outing. As often, if you are serious about writing and more so, publishing, going to literary events is how it's done! Email me and I'll set you on some activities I've heard about. BUT OKAY, OKAY… I know…
Your 
is a dictator and you can't find the time.
Or, your...
just
moved to Minnesota and you are stuck at home .
Or, you are 
and live in a
cave.
SO??? You should still find a suitable poetry activity. Be bold! Tell the boss, friends, family that it is actually required and then you'll have an excuse to get out for an evening.
NOTE:
While it is Required I do acknowledge that you
may have special, medical circumstances or needs. If this is true, you need to contact me
individually to explain and we can work out suitable alternatives to your having
to physically attend events. Unless I hear specifically from you that you have a
medical condition and we agree,
going to an event is REQUIRED of you.
