Here are some other great ones if you want to get started. You'll be reading these this coming week!

  2. Thank you Sarah! I'd already read the Seneca Review article, but I was struck by the absolute erratic beauty of some of the essays. When I say erratic, I mean that in the most complimentary way, because they reflect how my brain works. Almost frightening, actually.

    I was at an inaugural meeting of a book club yesterday and the ladies were quite amused by the circuitous path my brain would take within a span of a few minutes. I've already started playing with the form (which I haven't used in the past).
