I have listened about fifty-one times to the Bookworm interview with Alice Quinn about Edgar Allen Poe & the Jukebox, the recent publication of Elizabeth Bishop's unpublished works.

I have listened to the interview enough times that it's now one of my fall-asleep recordings, along with the Clayton Eshleman interview. His reading of his long poem "Combined Object" is bottomless, and it is about sleep.

More in this vein: sorrow, ferries, winter circuses )

I'm glad the library is open again. [livejournal.com profile] inlandsea, I'm not sure, but it seems like on fairly good terms for the employees?

I spent yesterday afternoon at Central to celebrate. I used the computers. I wandered the stacks. I picked up completely random books and smelled them. I did some writing upstairs in a carrel, with the light slanting in through the vertical blinds, shining on the laminate. Every so often I'd look up and see who was going into Smith's.

I can READ ANYTHING I WANT NOW. To celebrate, I brought home The History of Street Literature. Though I have The Indian Clerk in my bag.
