Circles of Influence

and here's a new site, administered by a close friend of flim forum press, Ted Smith. Circles of Influence (circlesofinfluence.net) provides “space for educators from around the country to discuss the manifold challenges of urban education and create ways to increase the possibility of real change.” read about COI, read Ted's Letter to American Educator, find out what's new on the COI blog, and join one of the many discussions in The Forum. most importantly, please mention this website to people you know, especially those who may be involved, or otherwise invested, etc.

Green

check out Adam Golaski's new translation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, which is being published serially, online, at the new arts and literature review Open Letters Monthly:

first fit, first part
first fit, second part

and, certainly, peruse the rest of the site while you're there, which is edited, in part, by flim contributor John Cotter.

from Open Letters: "Here you’ll find engaged, enthusiastic criticism and commentary displaying our passion for art across a broad spectrum of forms. Here you’ll find opinions based on our belief that there’s no room in the world for either pretension or pandering, and that the lions of art can fall flat just as great works can emerge from previously unknown corners."
