New on the Digital Thoreau blog: Bob Young discusses Thoreau's fourth and final climb of Mount Monadnock, and explores the map of Monadnock that Thoreau drew in his Journal entry of August 9, 1860. Complete with high-resolution images of the Journal and a StoryMapJS tour of the map. https://digitalthoreau.org/blog/ #thoreau #manuscripts #americanlit #dh

#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."

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

#introduction INCOMING

Hi, I’m Sheila.

I’m an #EdithWharton impersonator (aka English professor), paid funeral attendee (aka #bagpiper), all-purpose nuisance (aka #accordion player) and general layabout (aka #writer) interested in a whole mess of things including #C19Studies #americanlit #bookhistory #cnf #mediatheory etc etc etc

Really bad at this social media stuff and getting worse every day. Pleased to meet you.
