You are missed here too, and I'm looking forward to that poem however long it takes, mine are inordinately slow in the gestation these days too and I have no such excuse.

Last week I taught 4 home school kids and two adults Romantic Literature and illustrated it with Keats's To Autumn. It was so much fun for me - but I needed more time.
Glad for you!

Good new dks and others - my son told me that his High School English teacher is giving me permission to come into his class and teach on Keats for the day!
This is great! I can't wait to do this. I will have 40 minutes for each class....hmmm wonder what I should do? I have so many ideas...One thing for sure, I will bring in my bronze life mask of Keats (copy from Haydon's done in 1816). Little show and tell would be nice to bring Keats home to these kids.
I'm open for suggestions - these are 12th graders - 17-18 year old kids.
