this inherited language: the shaping of a curious form
it is the end of 2021. i am looking to educate myself and find a community of wandering poets, so i sign up for a free online workshop, a “mooc” the pre-recorded instructor-hologram informs me. while going through the course videos, the author and textile artist gwendolyn brooks comes up. i’m listening to “we real cool”- her rhythm and tempo, the sharp way she hits every "WE" with conviction. i listen to 3 different readings and watch several videos on youtube while searching “gwendolyn brooks modernism” because it has occured in the background flurry of new information that gwendolyn brooks is an icon in modernist american literature. in a moment of sweet awareness i decide that for every american modernist poet or author i research, i will find an african counterpart. i have a latent thirst for representation of the things that i feel have shaped me into this curious form. a new friend asked me recently, “do you know the work of the people without whom your own would not exist?”

In The Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer explains the corruption in a way that is both ironic and humorous. The religious icons in The Canterbury Tales show many of the problems corrupting the medieval Church. For Instance, The Monk and The Friar. Chaucer highlights corruption to the reader, especially with these two tales. While The Friar is portrayed as a greedy counterfeit, The Monk is described as a person who breaks the rules. Throughout the story, the Characters depict corruption with the attributes they are given.
