Because I was like my mother before me
and kept to myself mostly.

who is she? i've never heard of her.

[hissy]

a woman who our university press publishes. the most inspiring to me right now.

[hissy]

i think you would love her.

i don't doubt it -- this is so quietly haunting. upon reading it again, it's the potatoes in dirty jackets bit that is most striking. so strange & beautiful that i didn't know whether to laugh or cringe & then did both.

mary! can i borrow that book sometime? ill swap you blas manuel, if you dont have his already.

[hissy]

i have it. i love "dust," & the poems in the middle surrounding it. what do you think?

[mommalovesme]

ir ead the first part, and thought i might get sick. about the subject matter, not the writing.

hey, is there any way i could get a copy of one of her books?
i could really really used something inspirational to read other than tibetan buddhist dharma books, which tend to inspire things other than good writing.
