#3GoodThings (about literature)

1. My students really enjoyed William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily," & we had a great time talking about it (& one student even knew the Zombies song named after the story; we all listened to it & had a good laugh).

2. A student from my first-year comp. class won a writing award for her essay on Edgar Allan Poe's "The House of Usher."

3. A student who is writing a thesis under my direction won a writing award for her essay on Rachel Cusk's Outline.

#ThreeGoodThings

1. My husband's sugar was very high. Through diet and exercise, he has been able to cut it down to a normal range.

2. A neighbor said how pretty our front yard is looking. It's a work in progress and I'm loving doing it. Photo attached.

3. My students did a great job discussing 2 short stories: Willa Cather's "Paul's Case" and the anonymously published (and oh so contemporary) 1857 story, "The Man Who Thought He Was A Woman."

Just accidentally texted some recent Marxist literary theory research to the post-modernists’ group chat.

This week in teaching. #litstudies #filmstudies #academia
We were discussing Henry V in class yesterday, and a student was having trouble with the final scene between Henry and Katharine. She asked: “Henry just won the Battle of Agincourt. He’s happy, his soldiers are happy, the audience is happy, Joseph Campbell is happy. Why does #shakespeare include it?”
It gave me a chuckle. Sometimes there are lighthearted stories coming out of the classroom.

new project requires a new #introduction: I’m a settler scholar on unceded Sḵwx̱wú7mesh lands (so-called Vancouver east end.) I write about form, figuration, in-betweenness and amongstness, in the C19 Atlantic and inland waterways. Newer projects on settler uses of early C19 poetics in placemaking; and the category of the material in #mediahistory. I print stuff, #run, #bird, and am learning #changeringing as a Masorti Jew. I post about book[art]s, history, pedagogy, dogs. #litstudies #histodons
