Replace "prose" with whatever words spring to mind at this moment. #poetry #ncte25 #ncte2425 Nov 2024 17:21 +0000at://did:plc:2db22se46uoy7qgue3bh4aky/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbrzvfbsuc2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/danahm.bsky.social/post/3lbrut3ktoc2nFeeling GRATEFUL for #NCTE24. As we look ahead to #NCTE25, I am thinking that "RADICAL OPTIMISM" might be an interesting mindset to adopt as a form of resistance, self-care, and more. Yes, let's DREAM and make those dreams come true. Already looking forward to your sessions!25 Nov 2024 15:50 +0000at://did:plc:2db22se46uoy7qgue3bh4aky/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbrut3ktoc2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/danahm.bsky.social/post/3lbrhnyb6os2fAt #NCTE24, some of us had the great pleasure to see & to hear both Tracy K. Smith & Ada Limon. Both poet laureates spoke about Emily Dickinson & her influence on them. As we move toward the next year also toward #NCTE25, let's remember Dickinson's words that we CAN "dwell in possibility."25 Nov 2024 11:55 +0000at://did:plc:2db22se46uoy7qgue3bh4aky/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbrhnyb6os2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/danahm.bsky.social/post/3lbnhe3lwis2gHere she is. #NCTE2423 Nov 2024 21:39 +0000at://did:plc:2db22se46uoy7qgue3bh4aky/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbnhe3lwis2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/danahm.bsky.social/post/3lbmf4oqmgk2iMy poster is pretty, AND I have some things to share--reading lenses, writing frames, students enacting change.
