reading memoirs
and then the view
outside today

* * *

I recently read A Good Home: A Memoir, by Cynthia Reyes.  There is a Page on her site about her book.  She writes about place, and her loved ones, and finding her way again after an accident.  I may have learned of Cynthia’s blog and book from Gallivanta, who also shares her stories so well.  So I’ll keep this note short, and let interested readers visit their sites.

reading memoirs
and the old knotty pine walls
have their stories too

Now I am reading The Pastor: A Memoir, by Eugene H. Peterson (2011, HarperCollins Publishers).  There is a quote by the poet Denise Levertov on his book jacket: “Every step an arrival.”

Blogs seem like memoirs over time: poetry and prose, paintings, photos, and many other ways of being creative.
