Thanks Cheryl Glenn for helping us consider how to make our students “rhetorically nimble” and reminding us that integrity—not persuasion—is the highest goal of rhetoric. #NCTE20 National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE)

“Language can never ‘pin down’ slavery, genocide, war. Nor should it yearn for the arrogance to be able to do so. Its force, its felicity is in its reach toward the ineffable.” Keep reaching 🙌🏼

"in dark and mendacious times we need poetry because its careful, precise way with language is a form of truth-telling." - so many good poems included in this article #TeachLivingPoets #poetry #aplitchat newyorker.com/books/page-tur…

Today I’m slated to teach Macbeth 5.5: “Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.”

Big day in MoPo for Rita Dove, Mahmoud Darwish, Natasha Trethewey, & James Langlas. #AprilSadness #NationalPoetryMonth

Passed my National Board Certification! 🎆🎇 #NBCTstrong (shoutout to #KyleEller for the camaraderie throughout the process)

I want students to experience poetry as a practice, rather than an exercise in reading comprehension.

We love to see it!! Phil was a mentor to me, despite our seemingly divergent subjects of English and Science. Cheers to recognized excellence 🎉

For all my fellow poetry teachers ♥️

Star of my week every week. Go momma! 🥇
