Amazing, just beautiful storytelling. And the ending was artful and magical (and sad) @authormadel

Love reading this poem again while reading Fitzgerald's The Odyssey @POETSorg poets.org/poem/first-looking…

Thank you @napawriters Loved the poetry lectures from Danusha Laméris and Jane Hirschfield @DanushaLameris and how poems move from narration to evocation

I love a movie adaptation, but the book I love best. "When primal Dawn spread on the eastern sky her fingers of pink light . . ." @odysseymovie

Thank you @Keplers for a great chat last night with Daniel Mason about his new book Country People @penguinrandom penguinrandomhouse.com/books…

"Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?" written by Frida Kahlo in her diary in 1953. Amazing MoMA exhibit @MuseumModernArt in New York City!

Amazing visit to the Hirschhorn museum! @hirshhorn Laurie Anderson's Four Talks Exhibit hirshhorn.si.edu/exhibitions…

Thank you for a great event last night. Karen Nelson discussing her new book and how she always starts with "landscape" as part of her creative process. Great to see Pam Houston, one of my favorite writing teachers! @Keplers @sibylline_press @writingxwriters

"To seek out novel experiences at any age is to slow time by chiseling it into shapes ever more beautiful, and to mark it more deeply." From this month's issue focused on new beginnings @KajaPerina @PsychToday

I love learning a new word! I found this one in the wild. Had no clue. @MerriamWebster to the rescue merriam-webster.com/dictiona… Use it in a sentence: "The critic heaped CONTUMELY on the author's latest collection blah blah . . ." Harsh!

Thank you for a great discussion focused on pain. @DrZoffness @Keplers In her book, Dr. Rachel Zoffness talks about biological, psychological, and social aspects to pain. We can find new ways to heal, and our "pain alarm can be less high."

Loving this book. Bringing Daphne DuMaurier back into the present time. The stories travel to Venice, London, Crete, and more. She takes "unreliable narrator" to another level. @SimonBooks @StephenKing

"And yet to have claimed that a warm spring morning walking over earth carpeted with apple blossoms was somehow the same, substantively, spiritually, as a cold winter noon spent pruning, or a harvest evening heavy with the smell of juice and hay..." (Daniel Mason's North Woods)

I don't usually post about movies, but Sentimental Value combines a stunning visual and literary aesthetic. Here's the opening about the family house.

Thank you @AuthorsGuild @__eshani @rgay @trellislit for a great discussion about the path to publication for the novel Ravishing. Loved your take on genre and multi-genre! Can't wait to read this book!

Thank you @cityartssf for the amazing discussion with Salman Rushdie who said "The combination of imagination and history is where literature happens" @SalmanRushdie

Thank you @JudithOrloffMD "When you've done all you can, you must let go and surrender to what is meant to be. Otherwise, you just end up torturing yourself and getting nowhere."

Amazing performance about the real women from history and the intense fight for suffrage in the 1900s! Enjoyed Suffs @broadwaysf bringing this story to life

Thank you @Keplers for another literary evening with Elaine Castillo and John Freeman, discussing California literature. We covered Tommy Pico, Natalie Diaz, Jaime Cortez and more for John's new book California Rewritten heydaybooks.com/catalog/cali…
