"To a Daughter Leaving Home" by Linda Pastan -- one of my favorite poems!

[@janetbower561]

I’m now 64 and listening to you reminds me of third grade when our teacher read us “Little House on the Prairie.” I feel warmed, comforted and inspired-what a nice place to go to. Thank you, thank you. Jan, Seattle

Linda Pastan changed your life, and with your wonderful channel you've influenced so many others. A virtuous cycle.

Your presentations make me remember how important literature is to my life. Your calm, kind manner add to the substantive lesson.

That was a beautiful reading. The way life repeats itself, the moment a parent let's go their child either on a bike or out of their house made me feel sadness, but it gave me a lovely perspective on life. Going to share this with my mom and sis.

The poem made me tear up also because of how beautifully you described it.

I first started watching your videos only to help me with my homework in college but the way you talk about literature really makes me enjoy it and I look forward to watching your new videos. Thank you for making these videos it really did help me learn and now I enjoy reading even more and have a deeper appreciation for it.

Same!! I am also a college student and I struggled with literature for a while, but watching her videos really helped me have an appreciation for the subject at hand. It makes me want to push myself and step out of my comfort zone. To explore the art if I would say so.

This makes me so happy! Cheers!

Hi Rebecca, could you please do a video on Auguries Of Innocence by William Blake line by line? I would greatly appreciate it, thank you!

[@Stephanie-rg5ln]

Hello! Please read Death In Venice by Thomas Mann, I would love to see your analysis!

[@SixMinuteScholar]

What a good book! I might not get around to that one, though, since it is more involved and would take some study. I would want to do it justice!

[@Stephanie-rg5ln]

@@SixMinuteScholar of course!! It’s a novella so it is fairly short, depending on the print copy it is 70-140 pages give or take! I hope you do get around to reading it, the style is incredible!
