Stunning. You've probably already heard the hype around this one...but every single word is true. Fantasy as it should be.

Remember when #kidlit taught us that a kid could solve world hunger by creating human photosynthesis, but it would be a threat to national security because...capitalism?

Two Irish guys putting on an Athenian play in a slave quarry in ancient Syracuse? It's a tragedy, but I bet you laugh.

I sat down with Clear last night after rehearsal and before I knew it, the clock was striking 10 and I was on the last page. A beautiful, lyrical story.

O Beautiful for children's lit,
that sees beyond our years,
To find our inner child inside,
undimmed by adult fears,
Go read a book, Go read a book,
It will do your heart good.
And savor each page til the last,
the way you know you should.

Maybe I just don't understand this poetry? I tried...I think...
Any suggestions?

Quiet Sunday morning the villagers of Millside. Even in dark times, life can be beautiful and rich. Annie's diary stuck with me all day, and I look forward to reading it again

“He does not rule us. No one can rule us. No one can rule anyone who does not first agree to the ruling." She smiled a trace at Aeriel and patted the little camp dog, which was whining for more tidbits. "One must rule oneself.”

If you're not quite ready to let go of one of our most decent political figures, how about going fishing with him? The Bitter Southerner has put together 12 stories about President Carter's fly fishing & diplomacy.

Now that A Room of One's Own is public domain in the US, we need some creative adaptations. A ballet? Oratorio? Someone call Judy Chicago...

Reading Guy Davenport's The Geography of Imagination
Describing the painting American Gothic, Davenport says, "Martin Luther put her a step behind her husband; John Knox squared her shoulders; the stock-market crash of 1929 put that look in her eyes."
Highly recommend.
