And if you draw on the walls - maybe just your initials tucked into the corner of the bathroom above the heating vent - no one will care. Everyone in Round Corners knows how it is: how you can have these uncontrollable urges to leave your mark. In Round Corners, they call it getting the last word in on life. , by Sherry Roberts, is funny novel that makes a great gift. Especially popular among women

Extractions: The Artistic/Managerial Staff Allen B. Ruch is the Editorial Director and chief content provider for The Modern Word. He is also the creator and current editor for the sites on Borges, Eco, García Márquez, and Joyce. He founded The Modern Word in 1995 as the Libyrinth, working on it during his spare time as a high school chemistry teacher and freelance Web designer. In 1998 he moved to New York City as art director for an online lifestyle magazine, reviewing contemporary classical music and creating sites for clients such as Bulgari, Cartier, and Hermès. He currently works for Columbia University as Creative Director of TC Innovations. Allen has the improbable nickname of "The Quail," and authored a terribly self-indulgent biographical essay which you may read by clicking the "Editor's Bio" button to your left. He lives in Brooklyn with a possessed parrot named Loki, and fondly wishes he could add Herman Melville to the Libyrinth. Dr Larry Daw , Contributing Editor.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES SELECT SITE Tony Augarde looks at the bizarre art of lipograms and the authors who have given themselves the challenge of omitting letters from their literary efforts. The Wonderful O sic This is like the form of word play called a lipogram, in which a particular letter of the alphabet is deliberately omitted from a piece of verse or prose. It may seem an esoteric pastime but it has been practised for centuries. Lipograms have been written in Latin, English, French, Spanish, and many other languages. In 1939 an American named Ernest Vincent Wright composed a 50,000-word novel called Gadsby Writing lipograms may seem a futile pastime but it stretches the mind (like all the best wordplay) and it also provides excellent practice in finding alternative ways of expressing things. One favourite challenge is to take a nursery rhyme and rewrite it, missing out a common letter. A. Ross Eckler did this with the verse of Mary Had a Little Lamb , which, to refresh your memory, is: Mary had a little lamb

http://www.iath.virginia.edu/elab/hfl0249.html

Extractions: Writing, as the term is used in contemporary literary theory, is the mode of literary creation that comes of age in the wake of The End of the Book and The Death of the Author . In Of Grammatology , Derrida demonstrates that, from Plato (who, of course, prohibited poets from his ideal Republic) to Rousseau and Saussure, the western philosophical tradition has systematically excluded and suppressed the concept of writing as a free-play of signification. In our logocentric world, speech is privileged over writing for its sense of proximity to the source of utterance; when I speak, the seal between my words and the meaning I intend by them remains intact, secured by my physical presence. Writing, by contrast, seems to drive a wedge between the speaker and his or her utterance. Cut off from the consciousness which would guarantee their meaning, words begin to move , to take on unintended connotations, to be received in unexpected ways. Signifiers are no longer fixed to their signifieds, but begin to point beyond themselves to other signifiers: The meaning of meaning [...] is infinite implication, the indefinite referral of signifier to signifier [...] its force is a certain pure and infinite equivocality which gives signified meaning no respite, no rest, but engages in its own

Extractions: A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n READ*WRITE*NOW! Activities for Reading and Writing Fun - May 1997 Knowing the alphabet is a key to successful reading in later years. When you sing the alphabet song, your voice draws your child's attention to the letters of the alphabet. What you'll need: What to do: Make eye contact with your child and begin singing the alphabet song: "A-B-C-D (pause) E-F-G (pause) H-I-J-K (pause) L-M-N-O-P (pause) Q-R-S (pause) T-U-V (pause) W-X (pause) Y and Z. Now I've sung my ABC's, next time won't you sing with me?" You can sing this song very slowly or you can sing it fast. You can also change your voice and sing it with a high, peeping voice (like a bird) or with a deep, dark voice (like a bear) Reading to your child is important for many reasons. It gives you time together. It tells your child that reading is very important. It also lets you share your knowledge and ideas with your child. What you'll need: A favorite book of stories.

Extractions: Learning Partners Let's Write! O ne of the most important parts of knowing how to write well is to feel comfortable doing it. The magic in writing comes from the ideas you have. Let ideas flow, as they would if you were talking. The beauty of the written word is that you can always go back and make changes: rearrange the ideas, correct the spelling, add new ideas, take out ideas that don't fit. The important thing is to think of writing as a reflection of your thoughts. Here are some things you can do: Show that you write often to make lists, take down messages, write notes to the school, write letters to friends. Write to your child: put a note in a lunch bag, make a birthday poster, send a postcard from work. Encourage your young children to get ready to write. They can scribble, draw pictures, make designs with letters. Play writing and spelling games: have family spelling bees, do crossword puzzles, play scrabble, play waiter or waitress. Explain that math problems are a form of writing. 2 + 3 = 5 is a sentence. Talk about why people write. Are they giving step-by-step instructions, telling a story according to when the events happened, describing how something looks, or trying to convince someone to do something?
