COURSE REQUIREMENTS, continued...
Concerning Literary Events: YOU ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND AT LEAST ONE LITERARY EVENT THIS TERM! YOU MUST SEND ME A PARAGRAPH TO ONE PAGE REVIEWING THE EVENT YOU ATTENDED.
As part of your semester of creative writing studies, you'll gain more incite into the world of writers and you may actually enjoy delving into the literary life. There is an active world of literature beyond books and the internet. You may well be surprised at how much you do enjoy a poetry event!
A CALENDAR OF LONG ISLAND POETRY EVENTS can be found at: http://www.poetz.com/longisland
Attendance at a live theatre event will fulfill your requirement.
Attendance at a talk by an author will fulfill your requirement.
CONCERNING OUTSIDE EVENTS:
Contact Barbara at REIHERBPOET@aol.com and say you are in my class. Ask to receive notices of poetry and literary events.
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 should find a suitable literary activity. It is part of the course requirements! It is not a lie if you tell the boss, friends, family that it is actually required and then you'll have an excuse to get out for an evening.
