Analysis
Animal Farm Critique
A look into Communist Soviet Union using animals. The work made learning Soviet history easy and set focus out into what the world can become. Cognitive dissonance, existentialism, fear, and totalitarianism. It coined the new term Orwellian Universe. Great read on so many levels and for all ages. Read it!

A Contrasting Couple of Book Review Haiku
A few weeks ago, I came across Judey Kalchik’s post about creating haiku with the subject of the poem being a book review. I’ve written a few book reviews, but they were more on the long-form side to fit work as assignments for when I was in my MFA program. And while I’ve wanted to continue writing book reviews, my brain has supplied me with many distractions and worries to keep me from digging into serious book reviewing.
