The day of departure has arrived! I look forward to meeting all of my fellow travelers soon! I thought I should post my favorite poem from Meg Bogin's The Women Troubadours. I very much enjoyed the poem by Almucs de Castelnau and Iseut de Capio. I thought that the exchange between two women was an interesting device. I also thought that the language was quite sophisticated. It was quite difficult to pick a favorite because they all were very interesting. I also liked the poem by Alamanda which I thought was equally complex and beautiful. I particularly liked her use of imagery and alliteration.
