Teaching through party-throwing has got to be the best way to beat anxiety and have a blast and people learn to love learning! :) :) I taught ESL by teaching songs, tHE Beatles, ABBA, Linda Ronstadt; they loved it and I eventually learned to carry a tune! :)
I've been trying to figure out how to comment, reply to the many interesting posts I find from you. Thank you for bringing to light so much interesting work. I must say, I was surprised at the poem you praised so highly in the Boston Review. Yes, it was a lovely work, but all I could think about was the pain of this poet. Such a dark outlook on life. Thanks again for your work. It enlarges my psychic tent.
