I’m Having an Affair
This is me talking about taking a break from a long, problematic project and suggesting that if you’re in a muddle, you might want to switch gears and write something fun. (BTW:That’s a cat, not a child, complaining in the background.)
And I outline some upcoming opportunities.

shared a note and highlight from
All the Ugly and Wonderful Things
by
Bryn Greenwood (Goodreads Author)
March 1975
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the publication of All the Ugly and Wonderful Things, I wanted to go through and make notes on the manuscript. To do that, I reread this book for the first time since 2016. The most surprising thing to me about it is that I didn't find anything in here I would change. I was sure that I would find things to make me cringe or things I wished I'd done differently, but no. This is still the story I wanted to tell.

| A thoroughly enjoyable read. Not just for young readers, this is a unique and beautifully told coming-of-age tale. I always love a story where the veil is thin. | |

| There was an innocence about this story - although I rarely felt sympathy for the kidnapper, I understood her. The resilience and love shine through every page. I adored this book and shed a few tears. | |

| A stunner of a collection. These poems don’t flinch. They are naked, lyrical, honest, and I can’t say enough about how moving they are. Every single one is worth a long hard look. You will be changed. | |
"I can’t tell if this book was just incorrectly marketed or if I truly didn’t like it? The description makes it sound much more mysterious than it ends up being. It almost felt like two disparate books with tones that did not mesh well - part historic"

Honestly? I have no problem with a juicy sex scene but given the heart of the story these endless panting scenes go on far too long. Anyway, the premise is important, the arc well executed, and body language excellent but, but, but… My issue overall ...more |

“The slate black sky. The middle step
of the back porch. And long ago
my mother's necklace, the beads
rolling north and south. Broken
the rose stem, water into drops, glass
knob on the bedroom door. Last summer's
pot of parsley and mint, white roots
shooting like streamers through the cracks.
Years ago the cat's tail, the bird bath,
the car hood's rusted latch. Broken
little finger on my right hand at birth--
I was pulled out too fast. What hasn''t
been rent, divided, split? Broken the days into nights, the night sky
into stars, the stars into patterns
I make up as I trace them
with a broken-off blade
of grass. Possible, unthinkable,
the cricket's tiny back as I lie
on the lawn in the dark, my hart
a blue cup fallen from someone's hands. ”
