😭 They made me the poet laureate of Vermont. I just love this state so much. Thank you everyone for the messages I just happen to literally be teaching poetry in the woods today. Thank you @VTArtsCouncil ❤️❤️❤️ vtdigger.org/2024/05/01/thir… – at Vermont, USA

3rd-generation writer Bianca Stone named Vermont’s new poet laureate - VTDigger

The 40-year-old from Brandon is the daughter of novelist Abigail Stone and granddaughter of the late poet Ruth Stone, who held the state position from 2007 to 2011.

Woolf, on the eclipse, "How can I express the darkness? It was a sudden plunge, when one did not expect it; being at the mercy of the sky; our own nobility; the druids; Stonehenge; and the racing red dogs; all that was in one’s mind."

“I’ve seen academic life destroy the best writers of my generation.” —Susan Sontag buff.ly/49oISvO

Susan Sontag, The Art of Fiction No. 143

On Yeats’s assertion that one must choose between the life and the work: “Of course, if by life you mean life with other people, Yeats's dictum is true. Writing requires huge amounts of solitude.”
