Thank you for making the effort to finish reading Fugitive Pieces. Those of you who have not finished the book have the weekend to complete it. We will have a short essay test on Tuesday and your short stories will be due then.
The next book we will read is a poetry cycle by Rita Dove that won her the Pulitzer Prize.
The cycle consists of 31 poems about her grandparents. It's called thomas and Beulah. Rita dove's daughter attended the university of rochester and she has spoken here several times. She's an interesting and challenging poet. She was the first African-American woman to be Poet Laureate of the United States.
