For a Student Who Used AI to Write a Paper Now I let it fall back in the grasses. I hear you. I know this life is hard now. I know your days are precious on this earth. But what are you trying to be free of? The living? The miraculous task of it? Love is for the ones who love the work. —Joseph Fasano

Introducing Fasano Academy In a world of relentless information and stimulation, a world that often aims to numb us and keep us fragmented, how do we find the spaces in which to slow down, connect with ourselves, and recover the ancient wisdom that will help us heal as individuals and as a society

Fasano Academy is an online educational resource for people of all ages who are interested in what it means to educate the "whole human being." At the core of Fasano Academy are the teachings of Joseph Fasano, writer and professor, who holds degrees from Harvard University and Columbia University. Fasano's theory of education values the whole self of the student (mind, heart, spirit, and body) and is aimed at helping all students integrate the pieces of their lives and unlock their fullest potentials

After 20 years of teaching at the University level, I've concluded that the educational experience has been compromised by factors that have little to do with the enlightenment of each student as a unique and *whole* human being....

...so I'm taking higher education outside the classroom.

I was so curious about @josephfasano.bsky.social's work that I bought a poetry book of his for myself for Christmas. Turns out my wife, heard me talk about his poetry, and also bought the same book for me. So we gifted the second. Now she bought another of his books.

It all happened on bluesky!

This makes my day.

Thank you, Arkansas International, and all who are enjoying The Last Song of the World.

When I wrote "Words Whispered to a Child Under Siege," my heart was broken by what humans can do to humans. It still is. I thank Montserrat Aloy Roca for translating these words into Catalan—and every translator who works for truth. May we all continue to witness what's happening.

Lines for My Last Day, Whenever It May Come All I wanted was to say a few things clearly: the way a river listens, the green of a door in the evening, the way we carry our absences like a winter coat loaded with stones. I tried. I did my small work. At the end, let me become the wind I loved. Let me at least have lived my life. With this heart, with this body of hollows. With this mind of madness and honey. And these hands, these torn hands I carried like the deep-grooved gloves of a falconer that have learned the infinite difference between giving up and letting something go. —Joseph Fasano

"Tell them we are nothing, nothing / without passion"

As we find ourselves in a time of great change, we can turn to works of literature that help us find language for our deepest fears.

It was a joy to teach my most recent webinar, "Why Hamlet Matters." The 2-hour class is now available for download. Email joseph.fasano@gmail.com.

Fidelity Say the facts: Someone decided not to choose you. Someone decided not to fight for you, turning from the wild colts of your broken heart. Someone left your one life on its knees. What will you do with those ruins? When Christ knelt before his judges, he didn't say a word to them, a syllable. He tried, he is still trying to tell you: Your life is the miracle you think it is. Give it to the ones who do believe. —Joseph Fasano

🖤🖤🖤

English What language is this that equates I love you with I love turnips? Can we not have another word for passion, steady passion, the agony that launched a thousand ships? And let it be fresh, yet one we’re used to: I home you. You breathe me. We stallion. If you cannot be a singer, be a story. If you cannot be a story, be a song. Say it, now, to yourself, your love, your other: I Rome you. You Pompeii me. I wouldn’t Judas you. —Joseph Fasano

Thinking about what fidelity really means...
