SALINGER
Iconic poet, writer, and artist Smith (Just Kids, , etc.) articulates the pensive rhythm of her life through the stations of her travels.
Spending much of her time crouched in a corner table of a Greenwich Village cafe sipping coffee, jotting quixotic notes in journals, and “plotting my next move,” the author reflects on the places she’s visited, the personal intercourse, and the impact each played on her past and present selves. She describes a time in when she planned to open her own cafe, but her plans changed following a chance meeting with MC5 guitarist Fred Sonic Smith, who swiftly stole and sealed her heart with marriage and children. A graceful, ruminative tour guide, Smith writes of traveling together with Fred armed with a vintage Polaroid to Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni in northwest French Guiana, then of solitary journeys to Frida Kahlo’s Mexican Casa Azul and to the graves of Sylvia Plath, Jean Genet, and a swath of legendary Japanese filmmakers.

On This Day in ELA: A Year of Literary Events
Back in , I got the ambitious idea to research and identify a literary-related event for every day of the year. I published each under a now-defunct Instagram account and listed them on my old website. I even created posters for classroom use that had each daily event on it.
Not long after creating these posters, another (much more popular seller) created a similar resource and made it free. Frustrated, I abandoned the idea.
Recently I returned to the posters to update their design. I realized that even though another teacher had a similar idea, my research and posters were still valuable. The competing resource isn&#;t even free anymore! Therefore, I returned to my research, fact-checking dates and updating the calendar to reflect new authors and recent events.
I hope you enjoy On This Day in ELA! If I missed a date, remember that I&#;m jut an amateur and only had so many resources at my fingertips. If you check this page often, I encourage you to purchase the posters from TpT or support my TpT store in some other way. This project took much more than a year to complete!
