A voice for the alternative, an alternative voice.
Writer, poet, academic, with a passion for comparative literature and the classics, and an interest in new styles, structures and voices, Adriano Bulla defines himself as a 'servant of Calliope'.
PS: I notice that there are accounts whose sole purpose is to give me 1 star reviews... I must have stepped on someone toes.
Publications:
The novel The Road to London , a 'spiritual novel' combining elements of romance/ fiction with touches of erotica and with a surrealist style, where a gay boy creates a world of dreams and lies to escape prejudice, only to find himself locked in the cage of his own imagination( Glastonbury Publishing + Mirador + Netherwold Books, 2013).
Queer Poems , a collection of poetry about Human Rights and all those who suffer from injustice and discrimination (Maverick Reads 2014).
Tales for the Free Mind and Open Heart , a collection of short stories on injustice and discrimination, available free (2013).
Ybo' and Other Lies , a collection of poetry, 2005, republished in 2013 by Andrews UK).
Lucid Dreaming , a complete guide to lucid dreaming (Maverick Reads 2015).
New Age Spirit , ruminations on spirituality (Maverick Reads 2015).
The Labyrinth of Grammar , a grammar textbook for ESL/ EFL/ ESOL and English teachers and advanced students (Maverick Reads, 2013).
Assessment for Learning , a book for teachers on AFL and formative assessment. (Maverick Reads 2015).
The Mariner's Inferno , a comparative literature study on Dante and Coleridge (Maverick Reads, 2013).
Currently working with Anna on the next novel, with the working title The Dreamcatcher , which will very likely take years to write.
Strong believer in equality an human rights, be it the rights of the LGBT community or of the homeless and the poor, Bulla has recently shown more awareness of social issues in his writing.

The author's credentials are very impressive to write about this subject. My girlfriend is an English teacher in Junior High, so I got the book for her.
I read it as well and we found the case studies and verified results most enlightening and insightful.
For me parts of the book were a bit technical, but no so for Amber. I'm not in education but she is and that is whom the book is written for.
This is a niche topic but a very important one in how one teaches their students. There is no 'one size fits all' paradigm in maximizing each children's learning potential.
