About This Blog: Living in the Layers

For ten years, I blogged at The Unquiet Librarian about all things learning, libraries, and my return to the classroom in 2016-17. This new blog is focused on literacy and Language Arts education, particularly writing instruction and inquiry driven work. The blog title is inspired by Stanley Kunitz’s poem “The Layers”, a personal favorite and one that reflects my personal and professional journeys.

About Me

Buffy J. Hamilton

I am a writing and Language Arts teacher who loves learning, literacy, stories, learning, dogs, poetry, fabulous shoes, and good lip gloss. I began my career as a high school English teacher in 1992 and then became a high school librarian and 2011 Library Journal Mover and Shaker before returning to the classroom in August 2016.
