your authors

Okey-dokers, gang, here's a list of some of the writers you listed as faves (with focus on the ones I'd never heard of - if you'd rather bring in a page of Whitman or Shakespeare or someone not on the list below, that's great too.)). Please bring in a page photocopied 23 times for us all to read. You can bring more than one page if you like. Try to find a page that exemplifies the author's work and what you like about it and be able to show and tell us about him/her. If you're really and true too broke to make 23 copies, see me. If more than one person brings in the same author, that's cool too. Have these for next tuesday, 9/25. Thanks. Here they are (please pardon any misspelling from my misreading of your handwriting), and I've added a couple that some of you mentioned in class that you've been reading:
