Please write a Beat-inspired poem (you can define "Beat-inspired" however you like) that makes 12 references to your personal experience (I don't have to get them). Bold or CAPITALIZE your 12 references and at the bottom of your poem, provide a glossary that explains what they mean (even if they're obvious). As always, include a paragraph explanation of what your poem means and how it is "Beat-inspired."
Grading:
2 pts = 12 references
2 pts = 12 glossary explanations of reference
2 pts = beat / counter-culture aspect (explained in poet commentary)
2 pts = author's explanation
DUE: 8:30AM Tue, Mar 5
Example:
I have to have my Heath Bar blizzard every night
Then I watch a Jackie Chan movie
Nothing is more American than fattening snacks and movie stars
Except maybe Five Guys, Fuddruckers, and In and Out
(Hamburg, by the way, is in Germany)
Glossary:
Heath Bar Blizzard - High Calorie Dairy Queen frozen treat
Jackie Chan - popular Chinese martial arts star
Five Guys, Fudruckers, In and Out - Hamburger restaurant chains
