In which I wrote a book….
If you have read my work over the last 3 years or so, from my blog posts about Nightmare Alley to my interviews with scholars like Charlie W. Starr about their work on C.S. Lewis and his circle, you know I am interested in the Inklings. And in what Jennifer Woodruff calls the Inklings-adjacent figures, people who knew the Inklings or explored similar ideas. Writers like Joy Davidman and Dorothy L.

| This booklet reads very much like the first draft of an interesting blog post, bridging two phenomena (the vision of carnival fortune-telling in Nightmare Alley, the fortune-telling tactics of 1940s preacher William Branham) that have common DNA, not ...more | |

“Why aren't you in school? I see you every day wandering around."
"Oh, they don't miss me," she said. "I'm antisocial, they say. I don't mix. It's so strange. I'm very social indeed. It all depends on what you mean by social, doesn't it? Social to me means talking to you about things like this." She rattled some chestnuts that had fallen off the tree in the front yard. "Or talking about how strange the world is. Being with people is nice. But I don't think it's social to get a bunch of people together and then not let them talk, do you? An hour of TV class, an hour of basketball or baseball or running, another hour of transcription history or painting pictures, and more sports, but do you know, we never ask questions, or at least most don't; they just run the answers at you, bing, bing, bing, and us sitting there for four more hours of film-teacher. That's not social to me at all. It's a lot of funnels and lot of water poured down the spout and out the bottom, and them telling us it's wine when it's not. They run us so ragged by the end of the day we can't do anything but go to bed or head for a Fun Park to bully people around, break windowpanes in the Window Smasher place or wreck cars in the Car Wrecker place with the big steel ball. Or go out in the cars and race on the streets, trying to see how close you can get to lampposts, playing 'chicken' and 'knock hubcaps.' I guess I'm everything they say I am, all right. I haven't any friends. That's supposed to prove I'm abnormal. But everyone I know is either shouting or dancing around like wild or beating up one another. Do you notice how people hurt each other nowadays?”
― Fahrenheit 451

The only thing I can think of is something containing Walt Whitman's I Sing the Body Electric.
I'm looking for a recommendation: I'd like a lovely little collection of poetry celebrating the beauties of the body. A sweet little hardback (like the Everyman's Pocket Poetry editions) would be nice, and I'd prefer an anthology rather than a single-authored collection. Do you have any suggestions?
