From the archives
From October of 1997: my first formal observation in the School District of Philadelphia. Will post a picture of my room in two weeks to see if I’ve gotten any better. (See the header of the blog for my current north wall.) If I ever get this book published, this photo will be at the introduction to the first chapter.

Praying this light remains. It will make my walk to school much less dangerous.

Monday Walk
Almost done with Sonnet 30
Potential next poems:
A Song on the End of the World by Czelaw Milosz (I have taught this one, maybe a bit easier?)
