I wanted to love this - instead, I liked parts of it a lot. It was tough to decide whether it garnered 4 stars or only 3. Pluses: a great premise, with the world-building you'd expect, and a focus on what makes humans both horrible and wonderful. Fas ...more

It's hard to categorize these - yes, they have Florida in common as setting, which is powerful, mysterious, erotic, sinister, threatening, disastrous, gorgeous - the state is shown here in all its contradictory colors, and their impact on the psyche. ...more

Stunningly heartbreaking, plainspoken and true, this should be required reading for all Catholics and ex-Catholics, and all who celebrate Christmas. Stark and haunting.

“I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything.”
Steven Wright

I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.
“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.”
Jorge Luis Borges

Ted Kooser
After Years

Today, from a distance, I saw you
walking away, and without a sound
the glittering face of a glacier
slid into the sea. An ancient oak
fell in the Cumberlands, holding only
a handful of leaves, and an old woman
scattering corn to her chickens looked up
for an instant. At the other side
of the galaxy, a star thirty-five times
the size of our own sun exploded
and vanished, leaving a small green spot
on the astronomer's retina
as he stood on the great open dome
of my heart with no one to tell.”
Ted Kooser, Delights and Shadows

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”
