About twenty Birmingham
language arts teachers endured my holding forth yesterday in my current gig as
a Road Scholar at Alabama Humanities Foundation, “Blogging: The New Personal
Essay” This morning I read the Walter Hooper introduction to The Weight of Glory by theologian and
teacher C.S. Lewis. This was on the heels of my reading the opening pages of Village Prodigies by poet and teacher
Rodney Jones. In both these books the opening pages reek of memory and death;
yet I’m drawn to read them simultaneously. Blogs. Sermons. Poems.
I have my
topic sentence: The story of my writing life. BTW, frag. lol
