The Poetry Series

        I've been in summer school for the last few weeks, and one of classes I'm taking is a class on contemporary American poetry. I ended up in that class by accident (it was listed as contemporary American LITERATURE), but it ended up being cool and I actually enjoyed a lot of the works we read. Instead of writing a final paper (which, in the long run, would have been way less work but much more boring) I pitched a creative project. My goal was to create 4 visual representations of certain poets or poems.
        The link has been up for a while as a "rough draft" if you will, but after some work over the last few days, it's finally done. I'm actually really excited with how it turned out and am considering making at a reoccurring part of this project. You can check out the project here, or visit the link at the top right of the page. As always, feedback would be fantastic. What you thought of the pictures, what you thought of the poems, any suggestions for future "adaptations", put it all in the comment box at the end of the post.
