"Fade to Orange" is a narrative I developed whilst talking Advanced Fiction Workshop during Spring 2017. The full story, projected to be 200 pages, tracks the life of Amir Dabiri -- now a disillusioned thirty-four-year-old producer -- as he reflects on his adolesence, and in particular, the year he spent studying film in Prague. That year, he began an intimate, tumultuous, and ultimately transformational relationship with a fellow student named Catherine, whose radical views on life and love would inspire Amir to shift his attitude towards his family and himself. Yet as the program ends and Amir and Catherine face overseas distance, their relationship unravels -- due to mistakes Amir has only begun to confront. In present day, Amir's reflections on the misjudgments of his youth prepare him for a difficult meeting: his first time seeing Catherine, a new hire to his company, in ten years.

Creating context and fostering expository reach in L2 writing: approaches and...Lee Arnold
A conundrum in L2 writing classes is how to make classroom writing assignments more meaningful and extend the readership of such assignments beyond that of instructors while also expanding the range and depth to which learners write. This presentation discusses how these disparate issues may be resolved by contextualizing simple writing assignments that allow learners maximized play of imagination and expression and that can extend what I call expository reach - the breakthrough to levels of writing that may go beyond where learners had previously written. Adding further to such a dynamic is the role blogs may play in widening such writing assignments into publishable projects. Such incentives for publication may motivate learner writers towards expository reach while creating a community of readership both of learners' peers and near-peers.

One of 26 Interviews with Writer and Author Ron PriceRon Price
This is the fifth interview in fifteen months. It is also the fifth interview in a series of 26 interviews from 1996 to 2014. This particular interview resulted from my reading of a series of interviews with the American playwright Edward Albee(1928- ). His works are considered well-crafted, often unsympathetic, examinations of the modern condition. His early works reflect a mastery and Americanization of the Theater of the Absurd that found its peak in works by European playwrights such as Samuel Beckett, Eugène Ionesco, and Jean Genet.
The interviews with Albee were held over the twenty-five year period 1961 to 1987 and published in the book Conversations With Edward Albee, Philip C. Kolin(University of Mississippi Press, London,1988). I regard these days as historic ones in many ways. they are also days of infinite preciousness in the brief span of time before the end of the century, days of urgent and inescapable responsibility as I strive toward what I like to think is my God-promised destiny.(1) I am living in the midst of a spiritual drama that has provided some of the motivational matrix for the comments that follow. The first question in this interview, this simulated interview is: "Are you conscious of influences on your poetry?" (1)--Universal House of Justice, Ridvan Message, 1997.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

9. Q&A JORDY LAWRENCE STEWART
How long have you been writing poetry?
I started writing poetry when I was thirteen or fourteen. It was ter-
rible stuff too, but I soon found myself falling in love with the craft, so
it’s been about a ten-year love affair so far.
What is your inspiration when working with style and content?
I read a lot of poetry, so it’s hard to peg any one person. I enjoy the
Beats and their style and sense of language. The kind of madness for
form they had – that recklessness and rambling – it really changed how
I looked at poetry. Diversity is the key. I can be reading with Shake-
speare one night and having a drink with Bukowski the next. I take it
wherever I can find it, whatever “it” is anyway.
44 | QUIZ&quilL
10. What is the story behind your title, Tulips in the Gutter, Blue
Lips in the Garden?
I’ve been in the position in my life where I had to make the most
out of a bad time or sink down with it, and I was there doing that with
some of the best people I know. We were all kind of tulips – out bloom-
ing in places we shouldn’t have been blooming, all wild-like in the bear
rain and snow. The blue lips part is just another spin on that idea I
guess. To be blue-lipped, tired, beaten, but not quite defeated and in a
beautiful spot all at the same time. I think there’s something to be said
for those days and people. We were all just kids out there.
Which poem is your favorite from the collection and why?
I don’t think I could pick a favorite. Some of them were easier to
write than others, but that doesn’t make one any better than the other.
They all have a place for me.
If you could give yourself advice as a beginning writer what
would it be?
If you don’t feel like you have to write, then don’t write. Many
people want to be a “writer.” But I think a lot of the time writers find
themselves writing when they wish they could be out doing other
things. The writer is a slave to his or her words and perceptions.
There’s usually no want at all – only the need. I tell myself to put the
“what I want” of my writing to the side. It only gets in the way.
What writers do you enjoy, even if they do not directly
influence your style?
J.D. Salinger is at the top of the list. He had such an innate ability
and understanding of his own work. You have faith and conflict with
these people he wrote to life. I’ve always respected and admired that
quality in a writer, and he’s the first person who comes to mind.
If you could smoke a cigarette with one poet, who would it be
and what would you say?
Maybe Keats, yeah, I think it would be Keats, at least right at this
moment. He was around my age when he was doing his thing, and he
was bold when it came to writings of the heart. It’s hard to walk that
line between what should be made public and what should stay private.
I’d ask him about that, if he was ever self-conscious or afraid of that
thin distinction of choice. Though I don’t know how the smoking would
go over with him.
SINGLE-AUTHOR CHAPBOOK 2012 | 45
11. What challenges did you face while writing the collection?
There are pieces in this collection that span from one month ago to
three years ago. It was hard putting together a collection of the right
variety and cohesion. It was also difficult cutting a final product that I
thought people would want to read.
How much sleep did you lose preparing these pieces for
publication?
I don’t think I could count the hours. It was more the wild nights of
thinking and self-derision that came before the actual writing of some
of these poems that ate up most of my nights. I was going on one or
two hours of sleep a night back in the fall. That was when I was doing
my best writing though.
What is your project as a poet?
I want to inspire people, but not in a conventional way. I want
people to feel something – hopefully something refreshing – and I want
them to get all crazy about it. There are lives being lived that people
don’t normally like to talk about or ignore entirely, but there’s always
more to it than that. I guess the catalyst of my work is that taboo Amer-
ican story, but my project is everything else that surrounds it. There’s
no time for apathy or ignorance, and that’s why poetry is important to
me.
What do you hope people will take away from this collection of
poetry?
Joy, sorrow and everything in between – if the reader could pick up
this collection and feel something different from the time before they
picked it up – that would be enough for me.
Why don’t you use capitalization in your poems?
I do, but rarely. Capitalization is a device I like to use to give more
meaning to something in the poem or to show that something is “big-
ger” than I am.
What advice do you have for beginning poets?
Read twice as much as you write, and don’t take life too seriously.
What would you like to do after college?
I’d like to teach college English and hopefully publish some of my
work on the side. Traveling is also something I’d like to do.
