Literacy starts at home. 📚
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
A search through the entire Harry Potter collection (3623 pages) reveals exactly one instance of "stretch his legs" (p. 14) and zero instances of "stretched his legs". kvongcmehsanalibrary.wordpress.com/wp-content/upl…

Four Quartets, read Four Quartets by TS Eliot, and then read the poem again, and re-read it, and again, and again, until you have it by heart. You need to know it. And have it with you always.

One of my favorite Annie Dillard quotes, from a marvelous bit of advice she gave the creative writing students at the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill), titled “Notes for Young Writers.” Thanks to @Image_Journal, we have a written record of it. imagejournal.org/article/not…

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school, she built hospitals and bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert once met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.

these few sentences by Linda Gregg teach me more about making poems than many entire craft essays
What matters to me even more than the shapeliness and the dance of language is what the poem discovers deeper down than gracefulness and pleasures in figures of speech. I respond most to what is found out about the heart and spirit, what we can hear through the language. Best of all, of course, is when the language and other means of poetry combine with the meaning to make us experience what we understand.
