Group Critique

This weeks group critique we discussed poems and fish farms. I asked Adonis this week about how he wrote his poems because his were typically well written. Adonis told me that for his poems he starts out with a few lines that can be broadly applied to a few ideas. During our extra time he wrote another poem to show me this concept. The poem he wrote was to me felt like he was talking about aging but given that the theme for his collection is hip hop it was likely to develop further. For fish farms, another member of our group was writing about technology and biology. That specific member changed his collection topic recently so we were just brainstorming ideas. The thing that came up was farms for sea creatures. Everyone knows about farms for cows, pigs and chicken but it isn't common knowledge that we have farms for aquatic life. I think this new idea will help him write about the moral implications of keeping sea creatures caged to become food. There is a lot to explore for that topic like: is it sanitary to have fish so close together, how does the biology of the fishes change, and who was the one that first conceived of such an idea? Hopefully some of the idea that was discusses this week finds its way into his writing because I find his new topic really interesting.
