Ex Magisterum in Absentia

Hi, Students. Jeni Chatham is going to pick up your journals, quizzes, and compositions and make them available for you to pick up during our normal meeting time on Wednesday. (Remember, we aren't meeting as a class, because I'll be at a conference in North Carolina until Sunday.)

Please keep up with your reading. I'm particularly interested in your learning some of the forms of poetry that Minot identifies (villanelle, rhyme royal, pantoum, etc.) so that we can begin to experiment with some of those, making your portfolios diverse and well-crafted. Read.

Also, don't forget to work on crits for the three short stories (by Andrea, Garry, and Mary). Those should be completed before our class meeting on Wed., Feb. 25.

Finally, any of you who care to join members of Pierian to see "Pictures in my Mind," a stage adaptation of works published in Hieroglyph vols. 1-3, please meet up at Quetzal (a restaurant near the Union Ave. campus) on Saturday, Feb. 28, between 6:00 and 6:30. The play starts at 8:00. We'll eat at Quetzal and go over and see the performance as a group. (Also, for those of you on Facebook, you can join Pierian on there; just look for us.)

And please fix the Latin for me, if you can. Merci.

  1. If I knew what you were trying to say in Latin, I could fix it for you, but I don't. So I can't. But tell me, so I can get an accurate translation.
