"A feeling that there must be a set of words in which the essence of the horror discovered in this century could be captured. . . the fate of man on earth is different from the one we were taught. Yet we recoil from giving it a name." Czeslaw Milosz 'The Search', Roadside Dog #poetry

Hi everyone, I'm new to Bluesky, another refugee from you-know-who! I'm an author, most recent publication a new memoir, about books and how they shape your lives, growing up in the wilderness without any money, and mother and daughter relationships. It's called Reading My Mother. #books #memoir
