• What kinds of emotions do you feel as a reader? Why do you feel this way?
• How do you imagine certain scenes, characters, events, or images?
• What kinds of details do you add to help yourself picture a thing?
• Do you identify with any aspect of the work? Does it reveal something about yourself?
• Are you alienated from the experience of reading in any way?
• Do you find some aspects of the work difficult? Disturbing? Contradictory? Boring? Why is this the case?

"All manner of thing shall be well/ When the tongues of flame are in-folded/ Into the crowned knot of fire/ And the fire and the rose are one." -- T.S. Eliot, Little Gidding
