Finished reading *The Rigor of Angels* this morning (Excellent Book by William Egginton) & now I’m finally starting Emily Wilson’s new translation of The Iliad!
I hope I can sleep in tomorrow… that’s the plan. This week was unusually exhausting for me. My body’s way of fighting off all the seasonal illnesses that are circulating— perhaps. Hoping for more energy this weekend— fun things planned. Have a good night/day ✨
Bought this for my classroom library… I’m a huge fan of Flavia Z. Drago’s picture books. Last October, my students & I predicted which character would come to life in a story this year! Gustavo is still my favorite.
“The greatest thing about poetry is that it can ambush you. You can be moving through the most ordinary day, and then you read or hear a poem and suddenly everything around you sharpens.” ~Rita Dove
