  • Addition to Summer Letter
    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.

  • 2014 AWP Conference Schedule
    2014 AWP Conference Schedule Thursday, February 27, 2014 9:00 am to 10:15 am R109. Disrupting Class: Changing Pedagogical Landscapes in the Writing Classroom Room 2A, Washington State Convention Center, Level 2 ( Kate Guthrie Caruso, Andrea Spofford, Cole Cohen, Johnny Jones, Kristin Cerda) This panel focuses on the ways teachers can challenge and disrupt pedagogical landscapes. By employing a variety of mediums including social media, video games, and boundary-crossing genres like prose poetry and graphic novels, we create a hybrid approach to teaching writing that distills and translates the classroom experience into out-of-classroom reality. Featuring five teachers of writing (creative, performance, composition, and community), this panel presents resources for disrupting class. R111. It's Funny Because It's True Room 3A, Washington State Convention Center, Level 3 (Brangien Davis, Nicole Hardy, Suzanne Morrison, Lauren Weedman, Claire Dederer) Mark Twain said humor is the great thing, the saving thing. In memoir as in life, it makes our tragedies bearable, shareable, and unifying. The well-timed joke saves the first person singular from its inevitable inward turn, exorcises the overly-earnest, and compels readers to let down their defenses just enough to feel the full force of a punch. This panel takes on yoga, sex, faith, and the perils of youth with an eye to the art of crafting humorous scenes. R126. What Was Is: The Use of Present Tense in Creative Nonfiction Room 202, Western New England MFA Annex, Level 2 (Kate Hopper, Hope Edelman, Bonnie Rough, Marybeth Holleman, Ryan Van Meter) This panel of memoirists and essayists will consider what happens when we write about past events in the present tense.

  • Annie Proulx—A Writer in Quest
    English Language and Literature Studies; Vol. 8, No. 4; 2018 ISSN 1925-4768 E-ISSN 1925-4776 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Annie Proulx—A Writer in Quest Xiaojuan Liu1 1 College English Department, Capital Normal University, Beijing, China Correspondence: Xiaojuan Liu, College English Department, Capital Normal University, Beijing, China. Received: October 5, 2018 Accepted: October 30, 2018 Online Published: November 28, 2018 doi:10.5539/ells.v8n4p104 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/ells.v8n4p104 Abstract This article reviews Annie Proulx’s life and her writing career and examines the quest motif throughout her writing, in order to shed light on Annie Proulx studies. It explores Proulx’s insight into the existential predicament of contemporary people living in a post-industrial society as traditional culture is getting lost and traditional ways of living are out of date. By setting her characters on the journey of quest in an attempt to discover who they really are, Proulx has invigorated the traditional quest motif. Keywords: Annie Proulx, quest 1. Introduction As a fiction writer, fame came to Annie Proulx relatively late in life. When her first novel, Postcards (1992), won her the 1993 PEN\Faulkner Award for fiction, she was already 58 years old. As the first female writer who had breached this male cultural bastion (Note 1), she has written her name into the history of the award as well as that of American literature. Her second novel, The Shipping News (1993), which became a greater success both commercially and critically, sent Proulx directly to literary stardom.

  • The Lighthouse Road Is a Cinematic Thundercloud Gusting Across the Northern Landscape Peter Geye So Clearly Loves
    “The Lighthouse Road is a cinematic thundercloud gusting across the northern landscape Peter Geye so clearly loves. With its conflicted heroes and their seafaring, bootlegging, lumber-camp agonies, this book understands hard work and heartbreak -- it takes no shortcuts but delivers its cargo in generous style, a tale wrapped in blizzards and viewed through the glass eye of history.” —Leif Enger “the story and its people achieve remarkable emotional resonance. The echoes of the characters' heartbreak through the generations are as haunting as the howling of the wolves on the wind.” —Booklist, starred review “…Peter Geye is doing for Minnesota what Hemingway did for Michigan, what Kent Haruf did for Colorado….”—Matthew Batt, in an interview on MinnesotaReads.com Reading Guide for THE LIGHTHOUSE ROAD by Peter Geye FROM THE AUTHOR I love looking at old photographs. They make me feel like it’s possible to transcend time. One such picture was my first inspiration for The Lighthouse Road. The photograph is of a woman standing beside a cook fire in a camboose shanty circa 1872. A crew of lumberjacks who look worn by a long winter surrounds her. She’s got a look on her face that says, quite plainly, “How in the world did I end up here?” The first time I saw it, I knew I wanted to imagine her life. The Lighthouse Road began as her story, though I moved the year to 1895. I never thought I’d write a novel with so much historical distance, but once I started, I found myself in a sort of trance.
