Burnout by Emily Nagoski

I read part of this book as a paperback and listened to several chapters with Seth via Librofm and listened to even more on my own with Libby. So, lots of media involvement. I loved this book and am recommending it all over the place. The writers are ...more

Mercy by Joan Silber
Rate this book
Clear rating
I enjoyed this book, more of a novel in stories. Not at all the conventional structure of novels today. The stories of each life, each character, unfurled. And so beautiful. I wonder sometimes about Joan Silber: how does she know (and she does) how j ...more

Sun in Days by Meghan O'Rourke

Clear rating
I'm embarrassed by how long it took me to read this book! I bought it when I still lived in California, 6.5 years ago now. These poems were so bittersweet, full of grief: for the mother, for the speaker's body in illness, for the daughter the speaker ...more

The Hounding by Xenobe Purvis

I loved this ominous, eerie book. The tension, the spare writing, yet the lush description. We had a wonderful conversation about it in book group on 2/15/2026. I can't wait to read more by this writer. ...more

Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl
Rate this book
Clear rating
I borrowed this audiobook from the library and now know I need to read it in print. It's hard to explain how hard this book hit me, how moving it was. I suppose part of it is its continued relevance. Frankl's critique of the United State's overemphas ...more

Modern Poetry by Diane Seuss

Oh my gosh, this book is brilliant, and I should buy it so I can reread it. Of course it's overdue at the library. The poems are funny and heartbreaking in equal measure. I can relate to loving poetry/literature with this kind of fierceness and comin ...more

Adult Survivors of Toxic Family Members by Sherrie Campbell
Rate this book
Clear rating
Helpful so far, but I'm not a fan of the platitudes ("If you can dream it, you can achieve it") or the repetition of how most people in our social circles are unlikely to understand our choice to go no contact with our family of origin. I know this w ...more

The Rest of Love by Carl Phillips
Rate this book
Clear rating
After reading Phillips's craft book, My Trade Is Mystery, I wandered to my bookshelves and found this bittersweet collection. The word "ache" came to mind throughout. The poem "Tower Window" has stayed with me for several days after reading it. The k ...more

My Trade Is Mystery by Carl Phillips

I enjoyed this book--I tried to make it last by reading one essay a day but finished the last three in one gulp today. The book made me want to read Carl Phillips's poems, especially his first book. I love the way he described the urgency of writing ...more

Passion by June Jordan

I loved this book and appreciated Nicole Sealey's helpful foreword. I was surprised by how much I loved Jordan's essay about poetry for the rest of us and Walt Whitman. I need to read more of Jordan's work. ...more
