We begin talking about Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark" and what makes comic poetry what it is -- making the arbitrary tight (the way OuLiPo does, so this is this semester's excursus on OuLiPo). Then a little about the plot that some of the students may have missed. Following which, an introduction to John Clare, and the first stanza of his poem "The Winters Spring," which we'll continue with next class.
