For the final sessions of my two seminars this term (one on Adrienne Rich; one on Toni Morrison's Early Novels), I have asked the students to find one quotation from the works we have read that they feel stands for something about the work, the author, or the world. I did this in my Contemporary Poetry seminar in Spring Semester 2022, with each student writing their quotations from poems onto poster-sized paper and hanging them on the wall of the seminar room. This time around I'm asking them to design memes with their quotations—but unlike most memes, I want them to say what poem or novel the quotation comes from. (Andrew Shields, #111Words, 15 May 2025)
