Hi #AcademicTwitter Favorite books/guides for writing an academic monograph? I'm starting a new project rather than turning my diss into a book. L. Portwood-Stacer's _The Book Proposal Book_ seems like a good place to start??? #c19 #AcademicChatter #academics

@this_was_a_poet I'd never read Emily's letters to Sue. I was in for a treat! Taught them with Smith- Rosenberg's "Fem Worlds of Love & Ritual" and students loved it. Really helped us explore the queer wobbliness between love, romance, friendship, & passion.

@erica_d_stevens thank you for the Alice Dunbar Nelson poem recs! They were incredibly well-received. 2 students did creative final projects on ADN poems. @BrigField "His Heart's Desire" and your Legacy article were rich, provocative and exciting (for students and for me!) Thnx!

Things to do instead of grading: Watch The Great British Baking Show Shop online sales on asos, BR, Free People, and Anthropologie. Close browsers. Go to buy yogurt. Take a walk. Nap. Plan all-inclusive resort vacays with partner. #dontwanna #academictwitter #academicchatter

"Over-educated" If you think this kind of language is just a gaffe, you're wrong

"The process of falling in love at first sight is as final as it is swift.... but the growth of true friendship may be a lifelong affair" Sarah Orne Jewett, The Country of the Pointed Firs #c19 #americanlit #AcademicChatter #americanliterature #romanticfriendship

When your career in #academia may be ending, lift until you don't feel dead inside. 2 pulls of 210lbs, the second of which isn't recorded because my phone fainted. #AcademicTwitter
