Timothy GreenHOST
When did you know you were gonna write a poem in this way that you did about this topic that you did?
C
4:12Celesta CoxGUEST
Um, so I stumbled upon the story I actually feel like later than everyone else, and the article that I stumbled upon was covering the student protests.
C
4:23Celesta CoxGUEST
Um, and that's how I heard the line, "Prison sentences, not topic sentences," which was the student chant.
C
4:30Celesta CoxGUEST
Um, and I wanted to write a poem because I was feeling a lot of emotions about it, you know, shock, anger.
C
4:37Celesta CoxGUEST
Um, but I almost feel like when you have too many emotions about something, it, it's actually hard to get the poem out.
C
4:44Celesta CoxGUEST
Um, so I was thinking about it from a different angle, um, almost in a satirical sense from the angle of those writing the essays.
