Hi I’m Phillip LaBelle. I am majoring in English and minoring in Creative Writing. Aside from the topic of my column, poetry, I am also interested in music and can play the piano, trumpet, and a little guitar. Emphasis on a little. My other hobbies also include working out, playing basketball, and cooking. My column Poetry in Practice is about looking at different poems and analyzing their techniques and content. Some articles may be just about a certain technique, such as repetition, or some may draw on the ideas present in the poem and discuss them. Occasionally, an article will have a prompt inspired by a poem’s techniques or content that readers can use, and I will write an original example poem using the prompt. Also, some articles will be about different poetry movements or poets themselves. Essentially, anything and everything poetry.
