Books I Keep Talking About Long After I’ve Finished Reading Them

  • Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk
  • Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer
  • A Pilgrim at Tinker’s Creek by Annie Dillard
  • Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

Which is not quite the same as Twenty Books that Have Stayed With Me.

Quotes I’ve Pulled from the Books I’ve Read

There is a secret bond between slowness and memory, between speed and forgetting.

―Milan Kundera, Slowness

We know the memory of the unfinished act, or story, or joke, is stronger than that of the finished.

―Muriel Rukeyser, The Life of Poetry

Despair is a confident memory of the future.

―Rebecca Solnit, Woolf’s Darkness

When we are artful in how we live and decide and act, then that which we fruitfully create will reverberate long after our one life.

―Norma Kaelokū Wong, When No Thing Works

Haikus I’ve Written

First, I should point you to my Poetry tag.

  • Mites of fog skimming
    rippling wake now funerate
    amidst morning fire

  • Wind blows chittering
    Leaf skittering to dead rest
    ‘Midst field of decay

  • Twirling birdsong sung
    Wind rush through leaf loose paper
    Thin these waning days

  • Hither snowless cold
    Bitter fading sol burns
    Shedding silent tears
