If you don't know the rules of the Group Review, we take a poem each week and discuss it together, with the permission of the author, of course. This week's poem happens to be Loss of Pulse by TheStormAroundMe. I'm going to give a fair warning now that this does have some content that may be considered to need a trigger warning since it is talking about what happened in Orlando as that is the main part of the poem.
Now that's out of the way, I highly suggest reading the poem if you haven't, because you won't be able to participate very well in the discussion if you don't!
Some questions to think about while reading and forming your response about the poem, ones which are also good to think about when reviewing in general:
- Code: Select all
[b]What are your first impressions of the piece?[/b]
[b]What are your interpretations of the poem? What is the message?[/b]
[b]Which lines are the strongest and why?[/b]
[b]How much do you think it actually relates to the subject matter that it was written off of?[/b]
[b]What did you think of the ending?[/b]
[b]In the poem, did anything else stand out to you that wasn't mentioned?[/b]
Again, these are just some suggestions and the discussion doesn't have to completely follow them, because it definitely doesn't cover the whole conversation that can be had.
That being said, discuss!
