This week I spent the majority of the session at the Praxis site making a spreadsheet and trying to create an organized chart of all the poets we want to feature in the poetry book. S sent me a list of people we have contact information for and a link for locating incarcerated people in Pennsylvania. After spending over an hour putting every person into the chart, I found myself frustrated as I tried to find information on where they are now or how to contact them. On the chart, I labelled anyone I couldn't find information on through the list S sent me with N/A, and I felt a frustrating desperation as I found myself repeating person after person with "N/A". The website S sent me for locating incarcerated people was a surprise to me.

This week I wrote a song heavily inspired by our class and discussions. I thought I'd share the link to it and the lyrics. Listening link below.

(Dis) Connection 

Driving down the interstate matching skull pins from New Orleans 

He’s going on about all the work he wants to do all these crazy ambitious things

Calaveras kisses and mariachi bands and guests from out of state and it’s out of my hands

For my research project I am examining silence in the classroom. I wanted to connect this weeks annotation with my research project.
