Why not give me a detailed answer but a info@cyan9.com instead. I believe poetry is something that should be fostered within yourself rather than studied. If you want to appreciate new techniques and ideas, then either experiment with old ones, or create new ones for yourself, and do as you heart commands rather than as the lecturer does. I could not bare to study this in a degree, and so opted for a close favourite in computing, where I could at least guarantee that I might get a job. Hence my stance, that you would have to be a fool to study poetry as a majors.

As far as the Updike business goes, don't even try it. It is unverifiable over the internet for starters, and secondly you stated that you were 32 years old, John Updike the writer was born in 1932; unless you are clumsey with your keys, or just plain forgetful, I would be inclined to think otherwise.
