We began this year with a few poems as a review of your final projects as sophomores. If you would like to revisit them, you can find them here:

“We Wear the Mask” (1895-6) by Paul Lawrence Dunbar

“The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” (1917) by T. S. Eliot  (also check out the author reading it here)

“Not Waving but Drowning” (1957) by Stevie Smith

We’ll wrap up our discussion of “Love Song” tomorrow and begin our discussion of this story from To the Best of Our Knowledge.

Glad you made it. Check back here often; I update this blog with announcements, lecture notes, supplementary material, and cool things that may or may not be related to what we’re discussing. Check out “Stay in Touch” above for RSS feeds. ((or an explanation of RSS feeds for those unfamiliar))
The “Things Worth Doing” link is an aggregation of the things I consume and think worth sharing. The links on the left side are interesting articles, the links on the right are arguments (AP students take note). The middle column contains books I’ve read recently and music I’ve been listening to. If you find my tastes to be outdated, please share what you know!
Please fill out the form below. In addition to this website I’ll upload any handouts to Google Documents for safekeeping. If you want access, I need your email address.
