Hello Former Student!

I'm writing to you because you took a class from me in the past few years at the Art Institute. As of Spring, 2010, I'll not be teaching further classes at AIS for the foreseeable future. (We're parting ways on good terms!) Until now, you've been able to reach my Wikiversity educational resources from my website, but I've decided to delete that link. You can still reach all of those materials here.

If you're interested in what I'm up to in the future (which will include an album in 2010 and a novel in 2011) you can friend my facebook page or drop me an email at info@stevenarntson.info and you'll receive a periodic update about performances, classes, and publications.

If you know any current or former students of mine who might be interested in any of this, please forward this information if you have a moment.

I hope all is well for you.
 * Best! Stevenarntson


 * Christopher,
 * Good luck with "Ulysses"! A great poem.

 * Christopher,
 * Just a note that another student followed up on your univocalic haiku idea!
 * Best, Stevenarntson

 * Christopher,
 * I
 * absolutely
 * love
 * your modern poem.
 * Or perhaps I should say that I love its (or rather, your) cleverness in writing it.
 * I think I've read it
 * once
 * each week
 * since you posted it.


 * (Sorry, I'll have to stop now... writing that way drives me absolutely insane!)
 * I also hate that particular style of poem. We had a unit on them in high school, and I was not impressed.  Not to mention I prefer my poetry to rhyme.  And I can't stand tossing out all punctuation.  I firmly believe in the power of a well placed exclamation point!
 * But I suffered through that unit and wrote some terrible drivel. And then there's the way you wrote it - mockingly making fun of the poem as it goes on - which is so brilliantly creative!  (Every time I read it, it makes me laugh!)  Each part gets better and better: from admitting it's pretentious to no punctuation to repetition, repetition, repetition, and then there's the keyboard solo.  That's my favorite part.  You even covered all the main points while listing what they are.  I applaud you on capturing exactly what I feel when reading those poems.  May you continue to make brilliantly sarcastic spoofs on other bad poetry!
