Assignment #1

Hey guys, I'm Claire! My favorite way to write is with poetry and stories full of imagery, and I'm obsessed with quotes, I put them all over everything. I like to write about experiences and people that I love and have ahd an impact on me. Over the next four months, I would love to inspire and be inspired, possibly make a few people laugh and discover how skilled and professional my writing can be.

Some of my favortie writers are Leif Enger, the author of Peace Like a River, I love his use of symbolism. Douglas Wood, who wrote Paddle Whispers, a journal-style quazi poetry book about the Boundry Waters. Also Shakespeare, I think old english is so sweet!! I also enjoy the lyrical genius of Sufjan Stevens quite a bit.

a sample of me!...

a great cliff,
the water below, fridgid I know.
jump!
my skin hits the water, I shiver.
swim to the rock, my friend helps me up.
