    Optional:<\/strong>\u00a0Nonfiction Revision Exercises<\/p>\n

    Note: <\/em>these revision exercises will not be formally turned in, but my hope is that you will test the possibilities of your Poem in unexpected ways, and perhaps discover new revisionary paths, or more clarity\/confirmation about what does work in your first draft. Trying some of these out can lead to breakthroughs or deepened understandings. \u2014\u2014The energy of revision is the energy of creation and change, which is also the energy of destruction. \u2014Maggie Anderson<\/em><\/p>\n
