What a treat to follow the exceptional meanderings of [a:Mary Ruefle|282933|Mary Ruefle|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1250203628p2/282933.jpg]'s mind whether she's musing about Christmas trees, little golf pencils, or menopause viewed through her cryalog ("hot flashes are the least of it"), or the art of shrunken heads seen in her youth at a Belgian museum which might comfort her as totems of her own losses. And colors like this "Purple sadness is the sadness of classical music and eggplant, the stroke of midnight, human organs, ports cut off for a part of every year, words with too many meanings, incense, insomnia, and the crescent moon." with a note from the poet that you can substitute the word happiness for the word sadness and nothing changes. Not unlike the times we're living through in pandemia. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Personalia When I was young, a fortune-teller told me that an old woman who wanted to die had accidentally become lodged in my body. Slowly, over time, and taking great care in following esoteric instructions, including lavender baths and the ritual burial of keys in the backyard, I rid myself of her presence. Now I am an old woman who wants to die and lodged inside me is a young woman dying to live; I work on her.
