Valerie, this video is a morale booster! When you mentioned John Milton’s punctuation I instantly thought of Dickinson’s unconventional style of marks and intervals. Your discovery of a passion for Chicano literature and a desire to teach it is exciting! Venturing into a lightly touched discipline of academia will be challenging and rewarding. The excitement you have for this new direction is contagious and a joy to behold. God bless this new pathway you’ve decided to walk down.

I've never heard of The White Tiger. Edward Said sounds fascinating. Thanks.

Borderlands looks interesting, I'm going to check it out. I wish there were more classic works from other countries/languages being translated. When I decided to travel to Honduras, one of the first things I did to "prepare" was (of course, as an avid reader) search for the most well-known, classic Honduran works - but none of them had been translated into English. So I did still buy some books while I was there, and I do plan to read them eventually, but my Spanish just isn't there yet. I'm curious, is your grad program in-person or online?

I agree wholeheartedly! My Spanish isn't quite there yet, and although I'm working on it, I wish more works were translated. I had the same experience when I visited Mexico. And it's in person!
