Welcome

The current installment of the COEC began meeting in 2007.

We are currently on a "break," for no particular reason, and many little reasons - mostly pertaining to life circumstances. If anyone is interested in calling a meeting, feel free to post on the blog, join the google group (see link below) and send an email, or contact either Nancy (nancykj10@yahoo.com) or Jesse (schroeder.jesse@gmail.com) for more information.

To receive cohort emails, join our Google group.

Questions for Frost Reading


Sorry these were a while in coming, but here are some questions to accompany chapters 4 and 5 of Frost's Exiles. Of course, if anyone is particularly struck with something else, feel free to bring it up either at the discussion Sunday night, or here on the blog.

Also feel free to comment on these questions on the blog to generate more discussion. (the questions are posted in the "comments" to keep this post "shorter")
