Copper Nickel ( for extra credit)

I had attended the reading published meeting with my friend Fu Wang on the Feb 09, Friday, 2007. There were just thirty percent people here, but the meeting contained a lot of interesting story and all the information I needed. I did not see my section’ students here, I think you have missed a good meeting.
In the meeting, the people gave me a sheet is about the Denver mint reading series. Now let me introduce Joshua Poteat to your guys and some information about him. Joshua Poteat’s first book, Ornithologies, won the 2004 Anhinga Poetry Prize, and his chapbook, Meditations, won the Poetry Society of America’s 2004 National Chapbook Award. He has received awards from American Literary Review Columbia: A journal of Literature and the Arts, Nebraska Review, and River City. Recent poems have appeared in Virginia Quarterly Review, American letters and Commentary, and Ninth Letter. The second person Allison Titus, her poems have appeared in American Literary Review, Indiana Review, Denver Quarterly, Jubilat, and Quarterly West and are forthcoming in Crazy horse, Cake train, and Typo. Her manuscript Barter, Fasten was a finalist in the National Poetry Series Competition of 2006.

In the meeting, there were four people read the poem, they are Chris Ransick, Jeff Franklin, Matthew Cooperman and Jeffrey Ethan Lee, Chris Ransick was the first person to read the poems and shared his experience for us, he lived in California and he like the ocean, beach and sky of California. He made jokes when he read about the poem; he said “the boulder football player grabbed the girl’s hair by hand and dragged around the playground.” The next personal Jeff Franklin read the poem “For the lost boys”, the face of book is nice a painting, it draw boys on it. Also Jeff made jokes when he read this story, and he just selected some interesting parts to read.
I like Chris Ransick’s reading, because he was so funny and he shared his experience with us. He combined the story with his own experience, that made the poem so interesting and it was easy to grab my attention. I think the local point of his reading is that combine with his life. I think this meeting was so helpful, it open my mind and give me more ideas for my future writing. We can learn some writing skill in this kind meeting, comparing with my own writing to improve my writing skill, let me know what I need to learn more.
