warm-ups: give inanimate object life; who am I-true self in metaphors (wondering who I am is like . . . )
hearing Transtromer poems (and recording observations–on OCC sheet)
reading bio and critical info: double exposure, stones and windows, psychology, independent discovery, poetry as vaccination against manipulation
“The Name” “The Open Window” “Winter’s Formulae”
