Monica Youn's "Hanged Men" poems
This poem is very unqiue. The structure is very different from other poems. At first, I was confused because it has numbers. I never saw a poem that has numbers and beginning letter wasn't capitalize. After last class discussion, this poem became clear to me. This poem responses with the picture. Also, the numbers is a sequence that poem follows.

I agree with your response to this poem. I too myself noticed this poem was very different and unique with all the spacing and numbers. I think the writer wanted to go above and beyond to show a different type of writing as well as a new in-depth definition of what he wanted his poem to be about. Its interesting to see there are different types of ways you can express yourself with poems, not just by with words but also with how you write them out.
