He may be the greatest American writer, at this moment. The trick of interlacing Spanish phrases – some of them impenetrable (to me) – with his narrative is organic and expert. Has he read Wittgenstein? Like all real writing, This Is How You Lose Her ...more |

| Robinson Jeffers makes D. H. Lawrence look like a parish priest. The bloody incursions of pagan (and pre-pagan) life lurk in his lines. My favorite is “The Loving Shepherdess,“ which I read in high school, and which changed me forever. (In a sense, I ...more | |

It is a great title, though. The ending is about as satisfying as a parking ticket in Missoula, Montana. There are two types of women: gorgeous, perfect specimens, who are desperate to have sex with you, and your wife, who is literally trying to kill y ...more |

How sad it is to be beautiful! How beautiful it is to be weary, under the dazzling Milky Way of 1911. (I don’t know the precise dates of these poems, I’m just guessing from Akiko‘s lifespan (1878-1942). She was in an early “trouple,“ feminist, pacifis ...more |

A cheap, though hardcover, Barnes & Noble book, designed to be given as a gift and never read – but I read it! It’s pretty incomprehensible, though there are some great diagrams, one of which looks like a stylized penis, but is actually a “scent-spray ...more |

| In a sense the title is an oxymoron. If the words are famous, they probably weren’t the very last. I just opened at random to “You know, my fun days are over” – but James Dean said this days before he died “while speeding in his silver Porsche Spyder ...more | |
“When composing a verse let there not be a hair's breath separating your mind from what you write; composition of a poem must be done in an instant, like a woodcutter felling a huge tree or a swordsman leaping at a dangerous enemy.”

Thank you. No, I don't think you ever sent me a photo. I would like to see it!
I love that picture of you. I just enlarged it so I could see what was going on. I have a great picture of you from the workshop in NC. Did I ever send you one?
Hi Sparrow. Nice to see you again. Do you have a rubber duckie?
I also hope you're having a good day. But I must ask, why no picture? Maybe after the teeth are brushed you'll put one up? Or perhaps that's just my useless optimism, rearing it's pointless little head...
thank you. The day is getting rather advanced -- time to work on my tooth brushing, really. But I get a little obsessed with late-night e-mailing. I hope your day is, or was, flagrantly happy.
I heard you bought one of Dada and my books, Tools to Change the World. Could you please review it for Goodreads? Amazon would be great, too, if you can.
Sisterly,
