Petrarch's Love
in angulo cum libro

PL... Good to see you still around. Our Dante discussion seems to have petered out... but Oh well... it motivated me enough to pick up the Jean and Robert Hollander translation with some marvelous notes and I ended up reading their Inferno side by side with Robert Pinskey's. Returning to Dante again armed with a wealth of knowledge of the history etc... of the era, it is amazing how easy... or shall we say how "fluently" he reads. We missed you in our Dante vs Milton discussion... which eventually morphed into a Dante vs The Wasteland and James Joyce dispute.

Hope you are enjoying a few days off over the holidays. I'll actually get some time in the studio next week!

Hope to see you 'round.

Read my last two blogs Petrarch. My email address is there on the last. I would like to send you those pictures of Matthew on the blanket.

Would you like to vote in our Short Story Competition Final?

Hello Petrarch's Love. I have been very remiss. I should have answered your very friendly letter a while ago. Please forgive my tardiness.
Although my first degree was in English I drifted towards Foundations of Education... generalist courses for graduates who want to take up teaching in as a career. I taught Comparative Education, Sociology of Education and Women's Studies at University Level for 12 years before I retired.
I have never wavered in my dedication to English Literature and for the last few years I have taken private pupils for exam coaching. I also did a qualification in TEFL which is English for speakers of other languages.
I spent a year as an exchange professor at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville some years ago and enjoyed it enormously.
I have travelled quite a lot in the USA and always had good memories of it.
Again apologies for not writing sooner.

Well, nice to see you are back with the living. No worries, I understand being busy.
Things are as well as could be expected living out of a hotel in Rockford.

I'm looking forward to a much longer visit home with the family at Thanksgiving.

Hello Petrarch,

You would appreciate this: I decided to spend a day in Oak Park touring Frank Lloyd Wright's first home and studio as well as several other of his commissions throughout the neighboring community, including Unity Temple.
There was an added bonus. It turns out that Hemmingway's childhood home is located in the same area.

I will have a few photos and brief comments to share at some point, perhaps in the architecture thread.

hey petrarch. thought i should let you know that i'm taking the dante's inferno class this quarter. also: can't wait until the mansuelo goes up!

Got your message.
FYI, I just sent you a friend request, so keep an eye out for that.
I typically have wednesdays and sundays off and I fly home every three weeks.
There will be more opportunities, if not this sunday, since I am scheduled to be here through the end of the year.

Regards
Gilliatt
