The New Yorker

"Reading The New Yorker will make you smarter."

Hahn always had some sort of reading recommendation.  In Masterpieces of world lit, we read excerpts from Leaves of Grass (something he also quoted often).  He suggested that we read all of it (as it is one of the most important documents in literature) out loud in the bathroom.  Just keep a copy in there and read aloud during visits.  I actually did it.  It really is amazing to hear out loud in good acoustics.  So I recommend it, too.

Hahn often said, read e.e. cummings from cover to cover, over and over, and you will learn all you need to know about life.

    Statement of Intention

    This blog is about all I can remember about John Hahn, who taught creative writing at Rio Hondo.  He died in 2006 and this is my way of remembering him.  If anyone else remembers him, please comment or contact me.
