  1. In my latest blog post you can get acquainted with Sara Teasdale's poem “Spring Rain”, first published in 1917.

    In many ways typical of her style of writing, the poem is simple yet deep, using imagery from the natural world to reflect on the poet’s emotions and memories: stormy, thunderous, passionate.

  2. It may be St George's Day today, but more importantly for me, as a girl born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, it's #Shakespearesbirthday

    I painted this #map of all the plays of #Shakespeare to commemorate the 400th anniversary of his death, which was also 23 April. The man was a genius.

  5. It's the spring equinox and the time for another quarterly ebook. This time it's a short story by Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941).

    "Departure" is about a young man leaving his small hometown to begin a new life in a big city. As he sets off, thoughts about the familiar people and places fill him with melancholy.

    It’s a bittersweet story that I hope you will enjoy! As always, there are vocabulary explanations in the footnotes.

  10. Right from the beginning, the author creates a dark and gloomy atmosphere of a harsh winter’s night. The spell she is seemingly under is a “tyrant” that completely paralyzes her. Yet at the same time, there’s something resilient about the poet...

  23. FX has cancelled "English Teacher" after two seasons. The writing seemed on the wall with the second season episode dump perhaps due to as yet unproven allegations leveled at star and creator Brian Jordan Alvarez.

  31. I’m happy to present the twelfth title in my series of e-books designed for English language learners (and everyone who enjoys a good short story).

    This one contains a non-fiction story “My Herbarium” by Anne Wales Abbot (1808-1908), originally published in her collection of prose and poetry works entitled "Autumn Leaves."

    The e-book contains two pages of vocabulary exercises, as well as notes throughout the text, to help you with the more complex C1/C2 vocabulary.

  34. The poem presented in my latest blog post first appeared in William Carlos Williams’ book titled “Sour Grapes: A Book of Poems”, published in 1921. Like many other of his works, it’s wonderfully simple and minimalist: the poet uses an extremely common image only to transform it into something delightfully rich and filled with meaning.
