D3@r Cl4sS,

Rlly enjoyed the pre-colonial ~vibes~ of Yedd@ Morrison's piece. Plus, how cool a name is Yedd@ XD!!! The common theme I seemed 2 find w/ the creative werks we looked at this w33k is that while each piece played w/ traditional works, ideaz, social issuez in a somewhat playful and witty manner (blocking out words from a r@cist book (fr*ck yeah!), making cards for wh3n ppl do f-d up stuff, making a phone line for poemz and poemz only), the result was still a serious and compl@tive werk that was actually extremely profound and, especially in the case of Piper and Morrison, even harrowing. I @lso rlly enjoyed lewking at e-lit that was produced physically as well, as iz the case w/ this week's works. As much as I luv reading on the web, therez something so powerful abt a physical object, like Morrison's cards, that m@ke such a big impact rather than if she had just sent them 2 ppl online. I'm beginning 2 feel lik electronic lit iz like modern art-- ppl who don't g3t it dismiss it as drivel but people who do see p@st its new and at timez confusing format and reach the h3@rt of the work, which, like all other art, is a comment@ry of the human experience. Plus n3w formats and writing stylez expand our ever-changing notion of wh@t is writing! Pr3tty ne@t!

Ta-ta 4 now,
