| For this book, Heidcamp turns her attention from hummingbirds to bluebirds. It's fascinating to see how different these avians are. Heidcamp's love for them, wonder at their beauty, and dedication to their well-being shine through these pages. Also c ...more | |

| What an odd book this is. It's clearly a joke, but a joke someone put an intense amount of effort into. The authors seem to be actual pagans, so this is pagan humor written from the inside. Parts of it are, indeed, pretty funny; other parts are less ...more | |

| I'm not an architect, but a lot of the tips and concepts in this book are also of value if you're a visual artist of any kind, and especially if you're doing anything that would involve coming up with fictional buildings or skylines. ...more | |

| A quick, entertaining read, with quotes from both the band members and many of those in their orbit. Honestly, if you've read anything before about the Floyd, everyone comes off exactly as you'd expect, but more so. There's Syd, brilliant and charism ...more | |
"This is a delightful book about the author's experience with rescuing hummingbirds. Her photographs are stunning and the narrative is enjoyable, like you're having coffee with a friend. While the book addresses some basic scientific traits of humming"

"I'm so thankful that people like Annette Heidcamp exist, not only to take care of these stray hummingbirds, but also to tell us all about them and share their beautiful photos!"

| This is the third of Heidcamp's books about the hummingbirds she has cared for over the winter; in this one, she finds herself as the de facto "Hummingbird 911," and ends up with several birds in her sunroom during the New York winter. I loved readin ...more | |
"2.5 stars.
This was ... weird. A very male-gazey imagining of a single woman at home. Within five pages, I was pretty sure this was written by a man. It was interesting? But also, I think if a woman had written it, it would have been so much more nua" Read more of this review » |

| One explanation for why She and Her Cat doesn't really work seems to be in the adaptation history. This graphic novel was based on a five-minute short film, the first thing that Makato Shinkai made. It's on YouTube, so I went and watched it. It's cle ...more | |

| A bewildering number of "outsider artists" had their work discovered in ways that seem to defy even the rosiest view of serendipity. It was taken from their last apartment when they had to go into a home (Henry Darger), or randomly taken to a museum ...more | |

Is always the same; we should be careful
Of each other, we should be kind
While there is still time.

“The essential advantage for a poet is not to have a beautiful world with which to deal; it is to be able to see beneath both beauty and ugliness; to see the boredom, and the horror, and the glory.”

“A conversation with Miss Zwida would lead me inevitably to talk about seashells, and I cannot decide what attitude to take, whether to pretend absolute ignorance or to call on a remote experience now vague; it is my relationship with my life, consisting of things never concluded and half erased, that the subject of seashells forces me to contemplate; hence the uneasiness that finally puts me to flight.”

“This is what I mean when I say I would like to swim against the stream of time: I would like to erase the consequences of certain events and restore an initial condition. But every moment of my life brings with it an accumulation of new facts, and each of these new facts bring with it consequences; so the more I seek to return to the zero moment from which I set out, the further I move away from it. . . .”
