  • Lunas И Moons: Campus Poetica
    1 Lunas и Moons: Campus Poetica (Flash Fiction, Short Stories, Translations and Six-word Breaths) IVÁN BRAVE Forward by Juan Pablo Gargiulo 2019 3 Foreword Borges once said: “When writers die they become books. Which is, after all, not too bad an incarnation.” And there is a certain magic that exists when one reads a book. As the saying goes about the same man never stepping into the same river, so it is with a reader and a book. In graduate school, I was the lone dissident—some might say “asshole”—in the writing workshop who disagreed with Vladimir Nabokov’s essay “Good Readers and Good Writers.” Specifically the part where he stressed the importance of re-reading. I loathe re-reading. And it’s not that I have anything against the books I’ve already read—I love them! That’s why I finished them in the first place. But I prefer to read new books—new voices, new stories, new experiences rather than re-live old ones. I did a bit of depressing math, and I’ll share some with you now, reader: I’m twenty- eight years old. (Or I will be, at the time of this book’s publication.) Let’s suppose that I live to a ripe old eighty years old. That would leave me with fifty-two years of reading. And let’s say that I manage to read one new book per week—a superhuman effort, but I’m a writer, so this is part of my work—that would be fifty-two books per year.

  • Locus Fall 2020
    Locus Fall 2020 Edition This Ticket is Taking Me Nowhere by Juman Khanji I get it now, I have no place in your heart, Let alone some space in your train of thought. Well, looks like I’m a stop that you’ll always skip, “Should I just leave?” is something I always thought. So I guess it’s time that I walked off, changed stations, explored that new faint smile and these unfamiliar thoughts. And if I fail to forget your jokes, I might as well laugh at them. This sweet pain is undefeatable, and so are my persistent thoughts. “Make me forget, somehow,” I pray to God. I know I can hop on other trains. I can also try to listen to sounds louder than these plaintive thoughts. - 2 - Locus The John Abbott College Art and Literary Journal Faculty Advisor Harold Hoefle Senior Editor Simone Drouin Editing Team Jacynthe Bruneau Sarah Naomi Klein Alex Méléras Anna Gong Shirin Anaraki Rahimipour Nicholas Theriault Devki Vaidya Gabriel Verghese Emma Wallace Layout Simone Drouin Special Thanks to John Abbott College’s English Department Student Activities SUJAC - 3 - Table of Contents Cover Art Front Cover: This Ticket is Taking me Nowhere by Juman Khanji Inside Front Cover: This Ticket is Taking me Nowhere by Juman Khanji Back Cover: Watermelon by Holly Dunn-Asselin Literary & Visual Art Page 8: My God is a Woman by Eli Page 10: P A T C H E S by Angie Daher Page 11: They Go on Your Legs by Alex Méléras Page 13: Beach Ball by Holly Dunn-Asselin Page 14: African Dress Design by Jacara Glaudin Page 15: Why Can’t You See Me? by Jessica Williams-Daley Page 16: 10 People; Changement by Jérôme Martin Country Club by Rachel Anson Page 17: Relativité des beaux temps mauvais temps by Jérôme Martin Page 18: Mr.

  • The Books Kids Will Sit Still for Handout
    The Books Kids Will Sit Still For Handout A Closer Look at Some of the Top-Rated Children's Books of 2012 and 2013 for Grades PreK-6 Compiled and written by Judy Freeman (www.JudyReadsBooks.com) Fall, 2013 The following booklist are arranged into three chapters (Easy Fiction/Picture Books, then Fiction, then Nonfiction, which includes poetry and folklore), and are then in alphabetical order by title for easy access. The list contains some of the memorable, interesting, distinguished, and award-winning titles published in 2012 and 2013. All are books I believe every teacher and librarian should know and share, whether by reading aloud, booktalking, or using with children for Literature Circles, Guided or Shared Reading, Book Clubs, or Readers Advisory. Working on your Common Core Curriculum goals? These are all books worthy of inclusion into your curriculum, your story hour, and, yes, your life. Each book entry consists of five parts: 1. BIBLIOGRAPHIC INFO: Includes title, author, illustrator, publisher and date, ISBN (International Standard Book Number), number of pages, call number (E=Easy Fiction/Picture Book; FIC=Fiction; B=Biography; #=Nonfiction), and suggested grade level range, though that is never set in stone; picture books so often can, should, must be used well beyond their intended grade levels—what I call Picture Books for All Ages. 2. ANNOTATION: To help you remember what the book’s about; to lure you into reading it alone and/or aloud; and/or to provide a meaty review that you can also use as a booktalk. 3. GERM: A good practical, do-able, useful, pithy idea, activity, or suggestion of ways to use the book for reading, writing, illustrating prompts, and other activities across the curriculum, and for story hour programs, including creative drama, Reader’s Theater, storytelling, group discussion, booktalks, games, crafts, research, and problem-solving.
