culture. education. literary studies.
It's the spring equinox and the time for another quarterly ebook. This time it's "Departure" - a short story by Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941), American novelist and short story writer best known for his book " Winesburg, Ohio: A Group of Tales of Ohio Small Town Life."
The short poem presented here was first published in Roberts' collection โThe Book of the Nativeโ in 1896. Set in the cold and silent month of February, it captures the tension between winterโs stillness and the hidden vitality of the coming spring.
Hereโs another English-language vocabulary post, inspired by something that came up in a recent conversation with a student. This time Iโll be doing a short explainer on the differences between these deceptively similar words: part, a part, apart.
Welcome to the fifth consecutive words-of-the-year post โ my way of saying goodbye to the previous year here on the blog.
