...poetry to share that they have written or else
have noted as instructive for technical reasons
...passages to read from published writing that
they have noticed as interesting or instructive
...extracts to read from work of their own
We listen to what is read twice and, after the second
hearing, we respond in turn, without interruption
(except to clarify a point). The object is to share
our perceptions such that
our individual knowledge of how text is put
together is advanced.
our individual understanding of the craft
of writing is influenced selectively by the
shared wisdom and experience of the other members.
