Notebook work for this week is in preparation for your cover memo. Reflect on Watts and the figural register in the lyric genre; reflect on your development as a writer writing your way into the lyric genre. How have its conventions challenged you and how are you adapting rhetorically to enter the genre, to invent yourself as a writer in the lyric genre?
