The Annotating Literature groups have met for their second block session and are busy writing their annotations in the current summer heat. We hope that you are enjoying the sun, wherever you are, and were reminded of the annotations on the “heat o’ the day” for Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poem “Work”. Would you like to find out, how the speaker of the poem envisions work in the heat? Then visit <a href="http://www.annotating-literature.org/annotations/read.php?pid=123">the poem on our TEASys website</a> and see for yourself.<br>
