“Retriever” by Sara L. Godwin
There are spaces within me I keep blank.
Thoughts I push out.
Ideas my right and left brain use to play keep-away from my consciousness.

I rearrange the furniture to cover up spots of recollection.
I hang pictures to hide events.
I dig holes, deep and dark,
to bury,
to forget.

But memory is a dog.

It hunts what I hide,
plays fetch,
lays at my feet all things I secret away,
like an offering.
Then he happily waits, tail wagging,
to start the game all over again.

A short story of Sara’s, “Afternoon Tea,” can be found in the September 2020 issue of www.brilliantflashfiction.com

“You Met” by Erin Delk
That handshake was an earthquake.

Melted welder’s hands
embraced by soft computer keys

Shaking my heart into taking
a portrait stored next to 
the memories of 
pine trees and hide and seek. 

You were fragile, but strong,
like glass that hadn’t quite cracked,
holding on, longing
to say goodbye 
as I hid my teary eyes 
and treasured the gift 
I would remember 
the rest of my life.

In this episode of Write Answers, we talk to Tim Reisert about the confluence between his loves of music, writing, and teaching. Tim was recently signed to Sofa Burn Records, and he has an album coming out in January, 2023 (available now for pre-order). This conversation is all about how we can leverage our own writing lives into meaningful classroom instruction. Tim and Noah get into all kinds of other things as well, ranging from mentor texts to John Hattie and teacher credibility. Of course, they also talk music. As a special treat, Tim even performs the single, “Grand Prairie,” from his upcoming album!

Modeling (The Joy of) Writing for Students: an interview with Tim Reisert

In this interview, we'll hear from podcaster and radio host, Dan Simpson. One of his many productions is a popular podcast called Writer's Routine. In it, Dan interviews authors to unpack the secrets to their successes. Whether it's how they plan their day or what fonts they prefer, Dan's heard it all. 

In this interview, Noah talks to Dan about what he's learned from his discussions with authors that we might translate into our ELA classrooms.
