Lorna Dee Cervantes' poem, “Poema para los Californios Muertos” (“Poem for the Dead Californios”), is a commentary on what happened to the original inhabitants of California when California was still Mexico, and an address to the speaker's dead ancestors.

Duncan Campbell Scott was a Canadian bureaucrat in the Department of Indian Affairs (DIA), who was born and lived all his life in Ottawa, Ontario. By profession he was known as Deputy Superintendent General of the DIA and was tasked with overseeing the Residential of the Canadian Government. By pass time, Scott came to be known as a famous poet who, at the height of his poetic career, was even acclaimed as the “poet laureate” of Canada (CLASS MOVIE). His poetry to an ignorant audience is artistically written, with emphasis on the beauty of Canada’s landscape and culture. To those with deeper knowledge of Scott in his personal and professional livelihood, however, his poetic work is filled with racism, hypocrisy and grave injustice to the Indigenous people of Canada. At the time of his writing, his views on the assimilation, or more bluntly the eradication, of the Indigenous people of Canada was not uncommon. As Canadians have become more socially minded and aware of the inequality and inhumanity that history brought upon this group, his previously celebrated works have been widely debated.

In the poem “Passed On” by Carole Satymurti, the speaker tells a story almost as in a novel of their mother and how she left them a box of index cards with advice on life when she died. The speaker’s gender seems to be female. In the poem, the poet presents the theme of growing up and becoming one’s own person through the maturation and acceptance process. She personifies the index cards themselves, comparing them to her mother. They also characterize the speaker and her mother and create a mood of sadness and longing, implying that perhaps the mother has been dead for some time, but the speaker has never truly accepted this.

The show moves from ancient christians cathedrals all the way to rural Alabama. The show examines how math connects to the bug known as the Periodical Cicada.

Some of the poems and essays I have read during this class were relatable to me. Being away from college, I have struggled with not being at home.
