It’s a hoot for me to see this story, based on my own teaching experiences from a long, long time ago, in print.

You can take a look (and even read the story)  at http://beneaththerainbow.com/back-to-school/

Also this month, my poem on “On Being Paris” is appearing in the newly published first issue of a literary journal called “Guinevere Review.” I wrote the poem almost two years ago, after the Charlie Hedbo shootings shocked the world. The poem points to terrorist attacks in third world countries, such as Lebanon, that did not receive the same attention as the attack in Paris, or cause so many immediate expressions of support for the nation under attack. Of course Americans share common bonds with countries such as France and England, but the people of other countries deserve our empathy and support as well.

I’m happy to see the poem in print. The message, unfortunately, still applies.

Here’s the link to Guinevere Review.

You can’t read the poem there, it’s solely a print journal.

But you can read it here… http://prosegarden.blogspot.com/2015/11/the-garden-of-humanity-on-being-paris.html
