Constructing the VISUAL Since we studied symbolism in-depth with Catcher in the Rye, your poem must also include symbols that represent your understanding of Holden or the novel. The images that complete your poem must be created with intent and purpose. Remember you are going to be required to provide an analysis of both your poem and image at the conclusion of the creation phase.

Project | Cut-up Holden The Beat Poets were post-WWII writers. They embodied an anti-conformist ideology; art was a forum for revolting against the ideals of society, questioning and revolting against it. The name "Beat" has a double meaning: beat of music, beaten down. Watch | Cut-Ups, William S Burroughs A cut-up poem is just what it sounds like, a poem. A cut-up poem is unique in that rather than pulling words out of your brain, you pull the words from another piece of writing; thus, the "cut-up" portion of the title.
