culture. education. literary studies.
Iโm happy to present the twelfth title in my series of e-books designed for English language learners (and everyone who enjoys a good short story). This one contains a non-fiction story โMy Herbariumโ by Anne Wales Abbot (1808-1908), originally published in her collection of prose and poetry works entitled "Autumn Leaves."
In her poem โSeptemberโ, the American poet Helen Hunt Jackson (1830-1885) celebrates the gorgeous month that provides us with the best of two seasons.
With the arrival of spring, itโs time for another quarterly ebook from the Grammaticus Free Library series: โFour Stories for Spring.โย It contains four spring-themed stories, with the accompanying vocabulary notes and illustrations designed primarily for English language learners.
The poem presented in this post first appeared in Williamsโ book titled โSour Grapes: A Book of Poemsโ, published in 1921. Like many other of his works, itโs wonderfully simple and minimalist: the poet uses an extremely common image only to transform it into something delightfully rich and filled with meaning.
