Copy Editing Blog

Filed under: by Arwen,poetry,rap,writing — by Studio Byrd @ 5:03 pm

The copy-editing blog we’re linked to cracked me up. How cool (and really really strange) is it that people sit around posting esoteric facts on when to use “blond” vs. “blonde” for all of cyber space to see.

Currently I’m fascinated by how rap is changing my students’ writing. They do journals regularly and I have more and more males writing peotry–really good poetry–that’s clearly inspired by rap. One even wrote about how he and his friends “freestyle” in their free time–they improvise raps. I can only think that this is fabulous news for the future of English. My students are spending their free time improvising very edgy poetry.
