Ooh, this looks interesting!

For January, I'm planning on learning 'Daddy' by Sylvia Plath, because I already kind of know some of the stanzas by heart and it's my favourite poem of hers(I know I'm a cliche).

take the 2024 dostoyevsky-official challenge: every month, learn one poem by heart. it could be in any language, it could be poetry you already know, it could be poetry you're reading for the first time, it could be a sonnet, it could be a ballad: go wild (but for this, i recommend choosing canonical poetry in your chosen language, not poetry in translation, nor something new). above all, poetry, language charged with meaning to the ultimate degree, is meant to be read aloud, to be felt with the tongue. by the end of the year, you'll have a better intuitive understanding of the poet's craft, of the possibility and beauty of language, an improved reading style, and, through the memorization process, a deep knowledge of each chosen poem—and you'll have committed 12 poems to heart, sitting around for any occasion, keeping you company wherever you go

Honestly this should be taught in english class instead of whatever the heck they are teaching currently

"they should teach media literacy in schools" english class "they should teach students how to spot misinformation" it's english class "they should teach kids critical thinking" it's called english class

My husband just walked up to our bookshelf, selected a volume, walked over to a stack of books by the couch, picked one up, and then placed them next to each other on the table, with the words:

"Well... we'll see how they get along..."

(oh, how I love that man!)

I am the human version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, apparently

I'm either Jekyll and Hyde or Franknstein. Reblog to tag yourself!
