So, changing it up a bit this week and presenting some academic writing. This is definitely very rough, but as I tell my students: Just write. If you have something you can improve it, but if you have nothing, you have nothing to improve.
At the moment there are no quotes and references, but I promise you, I have books and citations to support claims, and I am diving deeper into a lot of good books on both haiku and poetic rhythm and meter, so all the fun MLA stuff is coming. (also, side question for Kelli, is MLA the standard for reference and citation in the field of poetry academia?)
Before tossing my full comments into this ring, yes, MLA is still standard. That said, MLA in-text citations AND footnotes are the current gold star. The only time I ever see APA in journals is for standard lit reviews (which are blah).
Detailed in-text comments (in blue, through Track Changes) are attached!
