    #Question: If you were to assign or recommend one #book about/from the US #South, what would it be and why? Asking partially out of curiosity and partially to get the wheels turning for a syllabus.

    #introduction

    I'm an English prof with specialities in #americanlit, #womenslit, and all things #LGBTQ. Currently I oversee a large group of #living-learning programs for the University of Maryland, which is surprisingly fun. The pandemic made me a player of word games and a baker of Bundt cakes. I watch politics and media closely and worry a lot about the future of American democracy, but I crack jokes a lot, too. And I have two cute #Dogs. Howdy.

    For their poetry project, I am asking Grade 12 students to choose a "mentor text" (poem) they want to use for their inspiration for their own poetry.

    Quite a few of the boys are choosing this poem by Kate Baer from her collection "What Kind of Woman."
    goodreads.com/en/book/show/509

    I something tells me I am going to be a sobbing mess after marking these poems. May insist that these boys share their poems with their mothers afterwards. #edutooters #poetry #elachat #americanlit
