I had the great pleasure the other day of talking to Dr. Sara Cleto and Dr. Brittany Warman, founders of @CarterhaughLLC. We talked about The Carterhaugh School's journey, our favorite fairytale retellings, and the enduring life of folklore. Interview linked below.
ALT If people are alive, they have folklore and make folklore. It’s just often not stuff that people recognize any longer as folklore. So a lot of people are like, “We have nothing left. We have no we have no traditions,” and it's like, no, you do. You really do. You just think it's mundane because it's yours.
Dr. Sara Cleto, The Carterhaugh School for Folklore and the Fantastic
Fairy-Tale Heroines is open for enrollment and it’s full of stories from India, Romania, Iceland, China, Iraq, Ireland, and more! If you want to expand your repertoire beyond Cinderella, Snow White, Disney, and the Grimms, THIS is the course for you.

Enrollment is open for Fairy-Tale Heroines! Why should you take this course? Fairy tales matter profoundly - they shape the way we see the world and ourselves. When we see ourselves in stories, we see ourselves and the world more clearly, more hopefully.

"[Poetry] was a form of incantation, a means of welding the world inside his head to the one that surrounded him, words the fiery chain that bound it all together."

I read a lot. I jokingly refer to reading as my coping mechanism for reality, and while there’s definitely some truth to that, really it’s just that reading makes me happy. Here are my favorite reads from 2024!
