Right now, I´m still reeling from emergency surgery. Basically I won´t be back until the beginning of Semester 2.

While we can´t do reading conferences as we had planned, I´ll leave plans for creating a literary letter.

And of course Poetry Karaoke.

For those of you that need to complete the timed writing, the copies of the exam and rubric are under the in/outbox. You can complete and submit them and I´ll probably get someone to bring them to me.

In the meantime, keep meeting your reading goals please, while reading outside of class.

I hope you found the irony in the poem I asked you analyze. I was reciting it to myself on the way to the ER.

Surgeons must be careful!
