Students took a five-question quizlet over Emily Dickinson's bio, and we graded it.

We continued our examination of "Apparently with no surprise," considering it as an example of the poet's evocation of weighty universals from seemingly minute particulars, and showing how it both follows and frustrates the expectations of ballad meter (or hymn meter, or common meter).

We then proceeded to a close reading of "If you were coming in the Fall," and looked at the changes the poem's editor made in the poem.
