So I wanted to.

This habit of less-than-faithful adaptations of Shelley's work goes back a long time. The history of Frankenstein adaptations is the history of hodgepodge narrative.

Like many people, my first exposure to poetry was through the medium of greeting cards. Before I knew Lorca, Desnos, Stein, or Celan, I knew Hallmark. It was the habit of my mother and grandmother to save whatever cards had been sent throughout the year in order to know who should receive a reciprocal one, but to me pouring over those ornate decks was a stimulating and rewarding pastime in and of itself.

From them I deduced that brevity with words, sometimes arranged in shapes called stanzas, was often rewarded with a unique and lavish visual setting that included bouquets, cakes, hearts, and gilded lettering among other things. Being very young, I couldn’t quite figure out exactly what the relationship between word and image was in a poem, but I sensed it was important. Thus poetry was originally for me a kind of picture- writing  — and greeting cards, the hieroglyphic flashcards that taught me to read it. Another idea I formed back then was that part of the very nature of poetry was to greet — i. It was a portable, sociable type of writing. Watch A Christmas Story Full Movie.

Later, of course, I became familiar with more serious poems, the kind that internalized their pictures and suppressed their desire to call out. But I’ve always retained something of these early ideas and thought it would be fun to create a context that allowed for both a literary and a more exuberant greeting- card aesthetic to co- exist. Our calendar here has been entirely dictated by highly esteemed poets. Its holidays are a mix of tradition and invention — the sacred, the secular, the romantic, the ridiculous, and even thank goodness, the mildly profane. From John Ashbery to Columbo Day, to Holi: the Festival of Colors, Elvis Week and more, I hope you will refer to The Holiday Album often and that it keeps you in a meditative, celebratory, and poetic mood throughout the coming year!— Elaine Equi.

Happy New Year. Push and pull. Squeeze throughthe breathy bottleneck. Music thundersover inconsistenciesof plot.

One often hearsof cheap sentiment,but of whatwould expensivesentiment consist? I would surroundyour words with the finestof kittens and steeples –- a blood orange sundripping over snow koansin summer. There are some for whomthis would be anathema,but I can’t imagine you’re one.

Leave Lisbon. Come to Rome. In the shadow of a statue. That shows no sign of moving. The actors run like military ants. As the train heads home. The portrait remains disapproving.

The moon is new but love is old. And in the spattered mirror. See the slightest cloud of her filmy dresses.

And a green and light green hand on your spine. In the air beyond your bed, an orange hand. To the right of your night table a dark hand. I put an outstretched purple hand over your hair.

A red hand on your hip says Goodbye, evening, enemy. One red hand could cover you. I placed a guitar on your upper lip. And a trumpet. And between your lips a conductor’s baton. And on your lower lip two violin bows and a red banjo, silent. And on your pattern I placed more music.

And on your breast, nothing. In the sky, I placed a bridge of violets held up by no string. Holi: The Festival of Colors (Indian)First weekend in March.

Difference between "full professional proficiency" and "native or bilingual proficiency"Accent isn't an issue unless it prevents your listeners from understanding your spoken English. If that's the case, then you can't claim spoken fluency."Bilingual" can have both a restricted and an unrestricted meaning. My 1. 6- year- old son is trilingual, but Mandarin Chinese is his best and "native" language; Southern Min (Taiwanese from Fujian Province) is his "mother tongue" because he grew up speaking that every day with his grandmother, uncles, aunts, friends, and mother, but he doesn't use it as much as he uses Mandarin (all school classes are taught in Mandarin); and English is what he uses with me and has since he was born, but it's his third language. For the most part, he sounds like a native speaker of American English, but because he's never lived there, he knows little or nothing about American culture, and I haven't gone out of my way to teach him. He watches and listens to American movies and to American You. Tube videos (comedians etc.) and understands some of the jokes, but he's not bi- cultural and not totally bilingual because he doesn't have native fluency: He often has to translate words and ideas from Chinese and I often have to ask Google Translate to express some ideas and English words in Chinese when we talk. If you can think in English as well as you can think in Swedish, and if you have a deep understanding of the culture as well as the written and spoken language of an Anglophone country - - one that would allow you to be, say, a simultaneous interpreter at the United Nations - - then you can probably claim "native or bilingual proficiency".

You'd be able to simultaneously translate current slang and topical references and jokes from English into Swedish or Swedish into English. I knew a young Japanese- American woman about 3. Japanese and American English. When she spoke English, she acted like an American woman, but when she spoke Japanese, she changed personalities and acted like a Japanese woman. Quite different. If you can easily discuss the major and minor topics in your field of work in English in minute detail, just as you would be able to in Swedish (I'm assuming that you can do that in your native language), then you can claim "full professional proficiency". You probably wouldn't need to use an English dictionary any more often than you'd need to use a Swedish dictionary for arcane technical terms in or related to your field.

You wouldn't necessarily be able to translate current slang and topical references and jokes from English into Swedish or Swedish into English. I'm sure that I'm missing something here, but this is my impression of what those terms mean.
