I love the idea that many of my favorite writers are secret medievalists!

That rhino!

Anything with "Forms" and "Poetics" in the title has me feeling very happy. Happy publication day to this beautiful book!

Esperanza Rising is such a gorgeous novel. The symbolism goes deep down. Always a pleasure to teach this one to my future teachers.
