Spotted in #FantasticFour c1966: "brag of" rather than "brag about". Apparently this was rare in American #literature even by the 60s (https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=brag+of%2Cbrag+about&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-US-2019&smoothing=3#).

Also researching feminist utopian fiction of the same time period, like that of Annie Denton Cridge, discussed brilliantly here: http://commonplace.online/article/a-healthy-paradise/
Suggestions warmly welcomed ❤️

Currently I oversee a large group of #living-learning programs for the University of Maryland, which is surprisingly fun. The pandemic made me a player of word games and a baker of Bundt cakes. I watch politics and media closely and worry a lot about the future of American democracy, but I crack jokes a lot, too. And I have two cute #Dogs. Howdy.

For their poetry project, I am asking Grade 12 students to choose a "mentor text" (poem) they want to use for their inspiration for their own poetry.
Quite a few of the boys are choosing this poem by Kate Baer from her collection "What Kind of Woman."
https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/50997643-what-kind-of-woman
I something tells me I am going to be a sobbing mess after marking these poems. May insist that these boys share their poems with their mothers afterwards. #edutooters #poetry #elachat #americanlit

Had never come across Thomas Mayne Reid before, but apparently this #c19 #AmericanLit author had a major 20thC afterlife in Soviet states. Any #Reid heads out there!?
