Mimicking the Artist 2 (30pts): End of Cold War Era authors

Due: Monday, June 1st (!!!)

Prompt:

You are to write a creative piece (a poem or a short story) in which you thematically focus on exploring one aspect of cultural identity conflict as an American (that includes ethnic, religious, gender, regionalism, intellectualism, blue-collar, etc.). 

You must imitate one of the authors we have covered over the last three weeks since midterm. That list includes: Amy Tan, James Wright, Philip Levine, Rita Dove, Alberto Rios, Thomas Pynchon, Sandra Cisneros, Yusef Komunyakaa, Billy Collins, Li-Young Lee and Jorie Graham.

Imitate their writing style, how they chose to address their themes of cultural conflicts in their characters and in their poems. But, to be clear as water....You are writing your own, original creative piece inspired by one of the above authors.


Requirements: 1-2 pages, SINGLE-SPACED, Times New Roman, CREATIVE TITLE, indicate who you are imitating...
