#FromTheArchive "Defining a lyric essay is tricky. These essays often use image more than narration. They question more than answer."

This groovy class needs a few more students. Who wants more inspiration from the everyday? https://t.co/ayQnNK6bTr

@kath_richards_ Thanks for a great conversation! I love that you included not just the mind but also the heart in your last question. ❤️

@AnnieSandWriter I also second Essayism and Andre Aciman's work, particularly his collection False Papers.

[Randon Billings Noble @RandonNoble]

@AnnieSandWriter Bold to recommend my own Be with Me Always. It takes Heathcliff's plea to Cathy as its title and is loosely themed around hauntedness. https://t.co/YkXMUXtRe7
