Random serendipitous connection to two other books I was reading-

1. I Love Information references these, which is why I looked them up.
2. This apparent first translation of the elegies into English was made by V. Sackville-West, to whom Orlando is dedicated, and who appears as Orlando in some of the photographs in the book. (There’s a lot more to possibly say about her connection to Virginia Woolf and Orlando, but I’ll leave it at that.)

Now I’ve read this book twice, I could probably read it again and again, but I don’t know why exactly

Should write more about this book (and I have written more about this book) but don’t feel like sharing yet.

I couldn’t put this down.

(I wanted to write a review for Granite Media but haven’t yet for reasons.)

These were nice.

Read:

• My Words
• What Color Is Night?
• Nothing Ever Happens on a Gray Day
• What Sound Is Morning?

I meant to read every book by Grant Snider at this time (had them all from the library) but I didn’t get that far. Another time. Poetry Comics, tho.

Wasn’t quite as cohesive as I was hoping, but I don’t know that it intended to be.

Impulse-ordered copies of I think almost all of her other collections to read soon; used copies from 3rd-party amazon sellers because I’m an evil cheapskate. I had them checked out from the library and they were long overdue, needed to return them, so that was a step up towards paying my share.

Think I need to write a review of this for Granite Media, which I’ll link here eventually.

Not that great as a graphic novel tbh, but definitely age appropriate and on an important topic/moment for which there isn’t much available

This was fun and not overbearing.

RIYL animal adventures like Wolf Called Wander, The Wild Robot, The One and Only Ivan, and a bunch of others. And if you like San Francisco and Golden Gate Park. Need to get my kids to read this for the first reason, and my wife and her sisters and aunt to read it for the second reason.
