And maybe the student sat through a class where poetry was taught in a way that left too little room for students to find their own way in, to feel into words, rather than focus on terminology? (I can’t know if that was the case, but their resentment towards iambic pentameter made me wonder…)

Thank you, Stephanie!! 🙏❤️

That entire puzzle reads like a found poem about a charmed life, from beginning in JESTand MOSS all the way to TheEND….

Yes! Very early stages! But super excited to get going on this once my book tour is over. ❤️

“Departures” by Yojiro Takita. I guess I’m trying to figure out how to live with so much loss every day. So I needed to be reassured that there is beauty in a bleak time and that kindness is what matters and persists.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

There are times when you have to read Pratchett to maintain your sanity in an insane world. Others I keep thinking of right now are “The Truth” and “Nightwatch” .

Yayyy! Congratulations!!

Your students and colleagues are so lucky!

There’s a whole novel hiding in that one sentence… (And I want to read it!)

I am so sorry to hear this.

Das erinnert mich an Ursula Le Guin. Sie hat einmal so etwas gesagt wie: wenn man in einer SciFi Geschichte nicht an den Aktionen der Protagonisten erkennen kann, wer gut und böse ist, sondern nur daran, wer gut und böse genannt wird, dann hat die ganze Geschichte keinen Sinn.

Well, it IS their future?

(This is —astounding and—also a poem?)

Dankeschön! 🙏

Thank you Eileen!
