For those interested in my non-visual art, I just had a poem published at Everyday Poets called "Amateur Astronomy"--you can link to it through my blog: [link] you can just go directly there: [link]

Feel free to rate it-- 5 stars would be nice.  ;)  Well, it's not my favorite of all my poems, but it has a cozy place in my heart, and I hope that you will find something you like in it as well.  :)

United States
I am a recent PhD in Scandinavian Studies, currently teaching Norse Mythology as a temporary lecturer at UC Berkeley and looking for another job. Also a published poet (small time still), with recent pieces in Ideomancer and Everyday Poets. I've started a blog (Vikings, Books, Etc) where I've been writing book reviews, posting pictures of vikings, and other things. Working with iPad art programs and now with a Bamboo tablet and Photoshop elements (still learning how digital art works). Please visit my blog for more.

If I could have studied Scandinavian studies, I think I would have turned out quite a bit different. :) (Still planning on taking an online course in Old Norse, though!) Hope you're an inspiration to your students!

I try to be! I love what I teach, and I like it when my students catch a bit of that as well.

Thanks for the watch! Good luck finding a good Old Norse course. Incidentally, the New Introduction to Old Norse by the Viking Society for Northern Research is now available for free online (along with a ton of other scholarly publications): [link] I don't know how easy it is to follow along with if you've never studied a dead language before, but it's a lot more "beginner friendly" than Gordon's introduction, which I learned from (I still like Gordon though).

Haha the protesting Viking was such a great gift idea so I had to follow you just in case you came up with any more cool pictures ^^

Holding up well, Old Norse has been great this semester! (Wish i was less sick though haha). Now I should stop procrastinating and get onto that paper that's due tmr ^^;;)
