Reading Journal 9

  1. What “form/format” are you going to write in?

    I want to write poems on Camp and Flamboyance
  2. Brainstorm/Describe your potential audience.

My potential audience would be primarily students in the class. However, you could generally extend it to a more broad audience of readers of contemporary poetry and people interested in Camp aesthetic. Their interests may be in exploring camp as a theme in poetry and as an aesthetic.  I believe they get their information from literary discourses.

I want to write 3 poems and a reflection. I think that will be sufficient for fairness. One of those poems will be a definition poem. I think I will do a free verse, an abecedarian, and a prose poem.



List out at least 3 generic conventions related to either your selected form, or your potential audience.


1. Poetry will be written in mostly unrhymed lines and in free verse (https://piclits.com/traditional-contemporary-poetry/#:~:text=Contemporary%20poetry%20is%20most%20often,accessible%20to%20the%20common%20reader.) 

2. Will be written in accessible language (https://piclits.com/traditional-contemporary-poetry/#:~:text=Contemporary%20poetry%20is%20most%20often,accessible%20to%20the%20common%20reader.) 

3. Allows readers to extract meaning rather than prescribe meaning (https://piclits.com/traditional-contemporary-poetry/#:~:text=Contemporary%20poetry%20is%20most%20often,accessible%20to%20the%20common%20reader.)
