We’re back to poetry next month, with Paul Tran’s collection, ‘All the Flowers Kneeling.’ I’m so excited!

By the way, I’ve been having a blast with Jackson’s short stories this month. Her writing is so eerie and insightful. Is her take on society pessimistic or accurate? 🤔

October 1st is just around the corner! That means a new read for The Contemplative Reading Project. We chose something appropriate to the season: Shirley Jackson’s The Lottery and Other Stories. I hope you’ll join us!

I finished reading Open, Heaven by Seán Hewitt yesterday and am still trying to gather my thoughts. It felt like reading the memoir of my youth. I suspect a lot of gay men will feel the same. It was heartbreaking in every sense of the word, in the tragic ways and the bittersweet ones.

On April 1st, we’re back to regularly scheduled programming at The Contemplative Reading Project! Our monthly pick is Modern Poetry by Diane Seuss! Stop by Tuesday for a brief introduction and the reading and posting schedule.

In March, we continue our collaborative read of Swann’s Way by Marcel Proust.

In April, we’ll be reading Modern Poetry by Diane Seuss!
