Lucinda Williams in my little corner of the world tonight, rockin' in the free world, glowing righteously bright, angry, and hopeful. More of this, please.

Went to look for some of my Anne Carson books (they are scattered about various bookshelves) and got whacked in the gut with grief when I saw so many books M gave me. So much wonderfulness and so much loss. Gotta go listen to the wind....

Short Talk on the Sensation of Aeroplane Takeoff Well you know I wonder, it could be love running towards my life with its arms up yelling let's buy it what a bargain! --Anne Carson

Thinking about "The Glass Essay" again www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/48636/...
She lives on a moor in the north.
She lives alone.
Spring opens like a blade there.
I travel all day on trains and bring a lot of books—
some for my mother, some for me including The Collected Works Of Emily Bronte.
This is my favourite author.
Also my main fear, which I mean to confront.
Whenever I visit my mother
I feel I am turning into Emily Bronte,
my lonely life around me like a moor,
my ungainly body stumping over the mud flats with a look of transformation that dies when I come in the kitchen door.
What meat is it, Emily, we need?

I can't possibly post all the lines and quotes of hers I adore, but am immensely enjoying reading every one that others are posting. What a joyous lift on this perfectly grey morning!

Yes! Honestly, I don't remember all the details in 2024 because I was in a very altered, grieving state, but everything felt turned upside down.

Front door flew open in the darkness for no clear reason. For a sleepy second, I half thought he had come home. Finally. After 2 years of pleading. Another Friday night on my own, entertaining ghosts.
