Let me rephrase this: #Masterman doesn't actually know how to teach, only how to take well-prepared children of privilege and polish them up. By giving a chance to the brightest students from even under-resourced #PHLed schools, they don't know what to do with them. Then a #Penn professor, Mitchell Orenstein, comes out and says a bunch of stuff that's basically "I'm not a racist but..."

SESSION #4 – April 24-May 3 – Jake Marmer on Hank Lazer

Hank Lazer’s Poetry: Experiments and Rituals

We’ll spend 10 days reading poems by this inventive, versatile, and prolific contemporary poet, Hank Lazer. Special attention will be given to his shape-poems — hand-written improvisations that freely move across the surface of the page. In Lazer’s work, spirituality meets humor, and philosophical quests meet everyday life: dogs, conversations, walks, and so much more.

SESSION #3 – March 13 – 22 — Irene Torra Mohedano on Alejandra Pizarnik

Alejandra Pizarnik: You write poems because you need a place where what isn’t may be.

Can we hide in language? Can we use language to say the unsayable? What is it that cannot be said? In this mini-course we will encounter the poet Alejandra Pizarnik (Buenos Aires, 1936-1972) and we will discuss a selection of poems....

@DonScott 😢I’d rescued a salmon-crested #Moluccan and lived him so very much. I got very ill and ended up at #Penn. I’m deathly allergic to their dust. Doc said I had to rehome him. I said I wouldn’t do that to him. Doc said, “Then you’ll die.” 💔 I gave him to a rescue that didn’t do due diligence & I’ve regretted it for years. 😭 Your fids are absolutely beautiful.

#introduction

I'm Johanna - born and raised in Philly, left briefly, but realized the error of my ways and now am settled here. Live in Roxborough with husband and kiddo.

Huge #PhiladelphiaUnion fan, work at #Penn, #peloton addict, very into #politics and helping to #gotv. Poll worker for every #election since 2018 (including primaries).

Glad to have found a new place that isn't Twitter. It feels cozier.
