Waldman, AnneAnne Waldman class on poetics and female writers, August, 1977. (August 17, 1977)

Second half of the final class from Anne Waldman's month-long series on female writers, "Some Women Writers," during the summer of 1977, primarily consisting of student presentations. Each student reports on a subject that they have chosen for further study and then presents that subject to the entire class. Waldman makes a few closing remarks and reads from Gertrude Stein's "Why do you feel differently?" (Continued from 77P083)

Subject: Aunt Myrtle Rides Again
I believe this class is comprised of different students presenting individual authors. Pleasant.

-Starts with a guided imagery type exercise. Think about being 13, take those feelings into 1977 and then sum up some survival advice into a sentence or two.
-Aunt Myrtle reads from Beatitudes for a Housewife. Pretty funny. You don't hear laughter like that anymore.
