Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 220 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations before we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing/reading on a weekly basis in an informal forum.

Bicentennial
This poem seems to takes us frame by frame through the journey of the author's mind in deep thought. It seems like the first stanza begins with the writer, Dan Chiasson, explaining from a first person perspective the stillness of that daydreaming/meditation-like state one falls into as they develop thoughts that unfold and become some sort of meaningful, unexpected connection.
