Greetings! I’ve loved staying home with the new baby, but I’m looking forward to getting back in the classroom.
This spring I’m teaching Bob Dylan as Literature & Inspiration at Arlington Community Education. What’s that all about? From the fairy-tale simplicity of “Girl from the North Country” to the surrealist panorama of “Subterranean Homesick Blues” to the autobiographical narrative of “Sara,” Dylan’s songs have transported listeners to worlds real and imagined. In this literature and writing class, we’ll examine the literary forms of surrealist poetry, lyrical ballads, and protest songs and learn how to apply these techniques to our own writing.
The class is at Arlington High School on Tuesdays, from May 21 to June 11, 7:00 – 8:30 PM. You can register at the Arlington Community Education website.
