Assignment 4 — Shannon Holman
Every time I go to Myanmar*, my first stop is the Yangon book market, which consists of several "shops"—blankets spread on the thronged sidewalk—piled with hundreds of volumes, many of which are tattered English primers dating from the days of colonial rule. In the same way that a conversa...
Yes, I recall you once unleashed a strike-through on an an entire poem of mine save the title and the last line--and it was much the better for it.

Selection is a form of invention. For today's assignment, make like a gambler: Shuffle Up and Deal. Why spent thousands on seminars, self-help books, and therapy to help you deal with the crippling, quotidian fear of the blank page, when you can simply whip out a pair of sharp scissors, spend a...
