Furthur With Dr.Sexon

Emergent Literature is changing me, I've noticed and I believe I have come up with the perfect analogy in which I will be able to articulate how this change has been manifesting itself. Professor Sexson, is Ken Kesey, we are the Merry Pranksters, and Emergent Lit is the 1939 International Harvester bus. Sexson gives us an idea, a concept, a hit if you will. He wants to open our minds let us experience things in literature we have never thought about before. This discussion of high brow and low brow literature has opened my mind, and reading and writing will never be the same. Sometimes after I leave class I feel overwhelmed with want I've experienced, I try to think about everything he has taught us and literally feels as though my head will explode. There is too much to even try to pin down. But what makes me feel better is to look at one thing at a time, one genre, one text, one page, one line, one word, and determine what I know it now means. I see things for what they really are now, and how it all works. I feel changed from taking this class, I feel as though Professor Sexson has opened my mind to the joys and anxieties of literature and I will never be the same again. I'm on the bus learning from him as we go furthur and furthur, and I love every minute of it.
