I was catching up on some poetry reading tonight. Glad I did . Here’s an excerpt:
an image of a moment in time so singular
that only words will serve
to etch it forever
on the patterns of my memory
to provide some comfort
when I am old
to give testimony to the painful beauty
that was my life
that is the experience of being human
I love Megan’s poetry. You’ve got to read the whole thing to get it, though.

This week marks both the NWP Annual Meeting and the NCTE Annual Convention. I’ll be at both — since they’re both in Nashville and at the same time. I’ll be presenting at both, too, which means it’s going to be a busy week.
Whew. Good thing I went and got sick last week instead of this one. Anyone else presenting in Nashville? Want to plug your session? Leave a comment.
UPDATE: Oops — forgot to plug my sessions. I’ll be presenting on Friday at 2:30pm with Bill Bass and Greg Van Nest. Our session’s called "The Compleatly (sic) Connected Teacher: Blogs and Related Technology for the 21st Century Teacher." Here’s the wiki. Then, I’m racing across town to join Troy Hicks for an NWP session called "The Social Web: building Interactivity Into Our Sites’ Websites." (Don’t you just love the academic colon?)
