Friday Night Knitting Club
I just finished reading Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs, and I'm still reeling. My summer has been hectic, and it's taken me an unusual amount of time to finish it. It's been nice, though, having the club members in the back of my mind as I went about my summer busy-ness. I've been able to identify with bits and pieces of all the characters, and I definitely understood Georgia's point of view. One passage that particularly rang true was her thoughts of how a woman who sees herself as the one in charge of keeping the order can let go enough to allow others to organize her world when she no longer can. With so many highly-developed characters interacting with one another, I would expect any reader to be able to find herself somewhere in the pages of the novel. To me, this novel epitomizes chick lit -- focusing on strong, independent women working through universal issues in very specific situations (which I adore in a piece of literature). I'd like to think that some day, this novel might be included in an American Women's Writers course like the one I took long ago and far away; so many pieces of it reflect important issues women face. It's not a romance novel, yet romance is involved; it's not a "women take the world novel," although that certainly happens as well. Some things work out, and others don't. That part is wonderfully realistic. And the best part -- the sequel, Knit Two, is here at my fingertips, so I don't have to wait to see how the rest of the story unfolds.

Quick Book Update
This summer I'm completely incapable of actually finishing anything literary, so I don't have much to update on...but I have been finishing listening to Matthew Pearl's The Last Dickens, which I started listening to on my drive home from work in May and simply hadn't finished. If anyone out there in BlogLand can give me some encouragement on that one, I'd appreciate it...the plot is interesting and I'd like to know "who done it," but the writing simply wasn't made for audio...to the point that I've fallen asleep listening to it poolside recently. It doesn't help that I know I have an audio Erdrich book waiting for me on deck.
Upon lots of encouragement, I also finished Ron Clark's The Essential 55, which is a book about making rules for a classroom. I think anyone into education and/or working with kids (including teenagers) would like this book.
On a side note, at least I'm learning one thing this summer regarding my writing: texts must be 160 characters or less in order to count as a single text; thus, my concision is improving exponentially. :)

19 Minutes...and into the Summer...
Okay -- change gears. No poetry at this time, but I did finish a book, so I thought I'd share. :)
I read Jodi Picoult's 19 Minutes, which revolves around a high school shooting. Our book club at work decided to read it because we thought it would be good to read something we might be able to identify with.
And that's the reason why I sometimes dreaded picking it up.
It was very moving and disturbing, as it should be, even though there were a few plot lines that I felt were simply contrived. But it definitely made me stop to consider what I do at work to stop bullying.
Now I'm moving on to more summer reading, which I needed to be a little lighter after such a heavy story. So, I'm reading the chick-lit Friday Night Knitting Club and reading a little bit of Anne Sexton's poems in Transformations, which are all her own versions of traditional fairy tales. I also started Margret Atwood's A Handmaid's Tale, which is a terrifying dystopian story of a new government with very different roles for women, but alas, it was too deep to directly follow 19 Minutes and will have to wait. Oh, and I've checked out yet another one of Louise Erdrich's books from the library, but this time on CD, so I can listen to it while hanging out at the pool.

When I started working on poems for the poetry slam a few months back, I joked with my students that I should write a poem of only the little, quirky sayings I often use in class. Several students kept asking for the poem, so I wrote one up for their last day of classes. I projected it so that they could read it as they were coming into the room and getting settled. It was so much fun watching them read it, nodding and chuckling when they recognized one. A couple students commented on how this is a little like my script for the day -- I start at the beginning, put in math wherever it fits, and just keep going through the list until the end of the hour. Perhaps I could give this to the administration as my general lesson outline.

Hello! How are you today? It’s my turn!

PAUSE.

I need people in desks, not on or near them.
Thanks for working so hard for me today!

Encouraged Writing
I may be a math teacher, but my colleagues are wonderfully encouraging me to write creatively more and more. One colleague and friend was gracious enough to let me read some of his work, and another has now asked me to write a handful of pieces for a publication at the school. So here's round one, first drafts...
Anticipation
Wondering when
Makes it worse
Checking & checking
Again
Still Nothing
This time
Something
But only
Spam
Not you
Contracted
The words itch in my fingertips
Press to flow out the pen's tip
Buzz around between my ears
Rhythm aligning
Rhymes coupling
Each action, observation, conversation
Gives a new twist
Here
I step out the patio door
Close my eyes
Listen to the cardinals
Smell the flowers, freshly mown grass
See the outstretched prairie
Horizon only interrupted
By the occasional hill and tree
Open my eyes
To the brick and shingle
Of the apartments beyond the square of grass
The traffic a block away
The neighbors' conversations and TVs
And I step back inside
Digital Procrastination
Working with my laptop open
Gmail, Facebook, and Pandora staring back at me
Write
Glance at inbox
Calculate
Scroll NewsFeed
Evaluate
Click "Love this song!"
Exchanging higher productivity
For a sense of immediate
Connectedness
Systematic Approaches
The lines only match up
End to end, intersecting
At the correct coordinates
When I make the effort
The lines only rhyme
When the words are
Lame
Naive
Contrived
The lines are too standard
Too forced
Too predictable
Everything expected of me,
nothing of my own.
Today is for free verse,
Squiggles and doodles
Today is mine.

JHS Poetry Slam Poems
A few weeks ago, I competed in my school's first poetry slam. I was the only faculty member to compete, but I had such a blast! :) I even made it to the second round of competition, which essentially means the crowd liked my first poem far more than my second.
Here are my poems from that evening, including the one I didn't get to read. Keep in mind my audience consisted of my students, so they're not my most serious work. ;)
Dear Lesson 6.2
Dear Lesson 6.2
"Graphing Polynomial Functions:"
I can't stand you.
Period.
I don't even remember learning you,
So you're obviously useless.
My students hate your guts.
Most can't even remember how to start your problems,
And several don't understand why we do your steps.
How do you expect me to teach you
with all of this loathing around?
I think I'll cut you from my curriculum
and just teach my kids how to graph with a calculator
instead.
Sincerely,
Ms. A
An Ode to My Facebook Inbox
As I turn on my laptop
I sign in and see
I have a new message
Waiting for me.
I get all excited --
From whom could it be?
I hover my mouse
Over the link
To discover the sender
And I stop and blink --
That's who sent me a message?
That's who thought of me today?
That's who took the time to write?
That's who I'll have to respond to?
That's who I'll be avoiding today...
Third Round Poem
I tried to write a poem,
But none of the rhymes would fit.
I tried to write a poem,
But all the rhythms were out of wack.
I tried to write a poem,
And all my ideas came out like blobs.
I tried to write a poem...
And then decided I probably wouldn't
make it to the third round anyway
So no one was going to hear it
So what was the point anyway?

I think it's crazy how I forget sometimes what I've read, even though the books have had so much impact on me. So I hope this helps.
