| | So, I went to this 10th grade English class and taught a unit on Walt Whitman and a unit on Allen Ginsberg. (everyone try really hard to think of how and why I was selected for this and what these fellows have in common.) God, it was awesome. Then they were all forced to write me a thank you note. This was EVEN BETTER.

Some highlights:
Thank you for going out of your way to teach us something you love -- I just have to say that you have the best personality ever. Thanks again!

I now know a lot about Walt Whitman and Leaves of Grass, I actually saw and recognized a quote from him in the least likely of places, a chemistry book. I'm your number one!

The only explanation I can come up with for you to take YOUR time to present to us is that you liked us as much as we liked you!! AND we loved you and enjoyed your gay poet presentations.

Thank you so much for taking time to come talk to us! It was so interesting! Let's go see Howl together!

I love the way you told our class all of the interesting history of our important poets who have inspired many poets in my generation (including me) It was awesomly intruiging. (I hope I spelled that write.)
Awesome. I love listening to stuff about gay poets. :D The presentations were really fun, like...a lot of fun. Thanks!

I had so much fun during your two visits. I loved how you didn't shrink away from certain topics.

You're an awesome speaker. Seriously. A book talk was somehow interesting. Keep it up.
