Book Time

Yesterday saw this program on channel 8, ASU TV. ( Thankfully its not Casanova play time yet!)

There was Lee Smith talking about her writing. I dont know her. Her accent, the flash of her teeth and smile, made me think that I could place her if she was younger. So I kept watching for the clue. Lou Crabtree was an interesting person to know about.

Went into the kitchen. Fixed some dinner. Back after a while, saw Rob Kingsolver on the screen and saw a lady walk in the wilderness explaining that it was her playground. I was wondering if she was Barbara Kingsolver. Initially the movements, social injustice, she was talking of didnt ring well with the idea I have of her from the 'High Tide in Tucson' book of hers that I am reading.. As I followed her South to West, The Bean Trees talk... it was interesting to know her story, all the things her fans send her.

Introduction to Wall paper and Ted Kooser

After reading the first line of the 'Abandoned Farmhouse' poem, I was reminded of a huge man with legs overgrowing his bed. That was an image from one of the high school poems. As I read along, I thought this is going in a Sherlock Holme fashion. When I reached the 'bedroom wall papered with lilacs', I was certain it was the same poem. That was my introduction to wall paper.

Iris

She danced like a doll.
Dolls with cheap Raymonds pen blue eyes,
irises with gradations and a hint of spokes.
Her iris was black.

love this song

Its 'Horse with no name'.

The line - In the desert, you cant remember your name

caught my attention.
