Maybe when a few things settle down in the next few weeks or months. Right now, I am slowly teaching <I>Romeo and Juliet</I> to some of my students and using parts of <I>The Wasteland</I> for their daily writing prompts and then discussing how they reacted to those stanzas (I think for middle school and beginning high school students, it’s more important to teach them that poetry can convey sentiments similar to their conflicted emotions than focusing on metre or symbolism), so there is some mental engagement. It’s just with everything else in my life now, personal things that I’m awaiting clarifications, that running becomes therapeutic and intensive reading becomes too hard to commit any focus to for that to happen much these days.
