Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone,
Thank you, will, for directing us to your delightful treatment of glass
yogis, absolute zero, and bulletpoints. (As if that summation is even
slightly similar to the real thing, she scoffs at herself.) And thanks also
to Mattis and Paul M. for your clever responses.
I guess that it shouldn't surprise me that so many members of this list are
poets and/or writers, considering the sheer poetry of the prose that is
posted here regularly. I was musing on this over lunch today as I spent
some time with will's poems.
The overwhelming talent of so many of our listmembers makes me wish that we
had printed the Bananafish review. Does anyone remember who was laying it
out? (Methinks it was our recently departed Jason, if I'm not mistaken.) I
wonder if we could get this going again.
Regards,
Cecilia.
P.S. This one comes under the category of strange synchronicities... Just
as I came back to my computer, thinking these thoughts, I gave myself the
time to read today's literary calendar. It seems that I'm not the only one
to be surprised by the talent of someone close to me:
60 years ago (1940),
Nora Joyce informs her husband: "Well, Jim, I haven't read
any of your books but I'll have to someday because they must be
good considering how well they sell."
(If nothing else, maybe this will start another Joyce thread.)
