Sometimes I think the best thing social media does for me is serve me up random poems that swivel my day. Like today's, The Fourth Sign of the Zodiac" from Mary Oliver:
"I know, you never intended to be in this world. / But you’re in it all the same. / So why not get started immediately."

I've been obsessing over Jon Klassen's delightfully dark children's books since I first started reading them to my toddler. This summer, I finally decided to write about them. Here's my Letter of Recommendation essay for the New York Times Magazine (gift link):

Kids’ Books That Don’t Ignore the Dark Side of Life
It would be tempting to allow my son to believe in a world that will never betray him, but I want him to know better.

What a joy to have witnessed Manchán Magan's gorgeous and meditative Arán & Im last night. Brought home some starter and feel like there's a little bit of Ireland bubbling away in my house this morning.
