This Charles Taylor book appeared on my porch a couple weeks ago and I still don’t know who sent it to me. But thank you to YOU that did. It’s like a grad school seminar on poetry pent up within its 600 pages. I have not cracked it yet but I plan to slog through it, late July into August sitting in a chair in the LIFE SCIENCES BUILDING sipping iced coffee and pretending that I’m in grad school lost in the wrong part of campus with an electric ass bathtub parked nearby…
…and that one-of-a-kind mug you see, has made it into heavy rotation for my morning coffee. YOU who left it in the little free library, thank you YOU, I appreciate it, in more ways than one.
My summer reading library is getting thick, with Charles Taylor, that new Joy Williams book that 37 reminded me of, the New Yorker, the IOWA Review, FENCE, Poetry, various random free stuff as well as the Elliott Bay Book Store book club books gifted to me by my mom, I need to get to work.
I wouldn’t want your job on a day like this.
