We’re examining Robert Hass‘s poem, The Seventh Night, for #walkmyworld this week. I was not familiar with the poem (actually, I was not familiar with any of his poems) so I dove into it cold. We’re using Poetry Genius to annotate the poem, if you want to come along. As I listened to Hass, and […]

Inspired by Haas: I Remember the Hummingbird
The shift within the #walkmyworld centers around poet Robert Haas, and his collection of poems known as Field Notes.

Vine: Crafting a Video Poem That Eats Itself
Way back in June, when I first started to use the Vine app (with its six seconds of video limit) with the Making Learning Connnected MOOC, I pondered how one might conceive of it as more than a documentation of life. I wondered if there were ways to tell a story in just six seconds. […]
