Like Reading? Then Put a Ring on It!

LRR, March 26, 2013June 16, 2017

 Blog posts are stressful, man. So are taxes, emails, and Facebook. That’s why, for the past few weeks, these other stressful tasks have taken precedence over the #1 task of any English major—reading. Reading has not been a priority of mine for about a month now. Too many deadlines, too…

Hearing Poetry

LRR, March 24, 2013June 16, 2017

A Literary Meal

LRR, March 13, 2013June 16, 2017

I’ve been noticing a trend in many of the readings for my children’s lit class… there’s A LOT of food. And some of the descriptions are so vivid and detailed that you can almost picture yourself enjoying the cuisine. Ranging from the delightfully decadent (like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’s…
