STUDENT POEMS FOR FALL 2023 w206 and a190 Paige Phillips Dreaming of Destinations Sarah paced past the old A-Frame it’s roof was basically mold and moss now fallen to ruin or maybe it was some palace to obscure ancient fae. That wasn’t The great treasure was found from trekking through overgrown meadows caressed by overgrown untouched nature she found it, almost consumed by the tall grasses, a well. A vertical tunnel or perhaps a chute. To a world inside of the world and all she had to do was tumble. If Alice found a wonderland inside the roots of a tree, then surely in a place like this Sarah could find a world in the well maybe for better or maybe for worse that would only be know once she took a leap of faith. She wasn’t even a religious person but maybe down there she could find some old God or Titania’s palace. Step, step, scooch, a hesitation and a last deep breath. D...

EVEN MORE REVIEWS Critique from McGwire for Angeles Angeles Poem 3 I really enjoy this poem, the emotions in this poem are strong. I feel dropped in and immersed in the world, I feel everything that the individual in the poem. Despites the fact I have not experienced all the things that the individual, very good for fully immersing me in this poem.

Her last poem and this poem have a tendency to use very large and other worldly words to create imagery. I really like this aspect of her poetry, however, I think sometimes when the wording is really heavy, readers can get lost. Personally, I didn’t have a major problem with that, but my roommate was reading some poems listed on the class blog and that was one thing she noted that I do happen to agree with.

I like the small drops of alliteration in Limbic System, like “sandpaper swollen,” “chorused the cult,” “sharpening of swords,” etc, makes the poem even more memorable. Overall, I really cherish how you let listeners inside your mind...
