Fun fact: the magnificent Inca site of Machu Picchu is barely a century older than St. Augustine Florida.

#books Finished Banana Yoshimoto's 1988 novella 𝘒𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘯 and would recommend it to anyone looking for a non-challenging (in a good way), engaging read. Liquid, often melancholy prose about food, loss, family and weather from a lost pre-smartphone world.

#literature #poetry A mockingbird - chased by another - crashed into our glass patio door with a thud today. It fluttered down almost to the ground, recovered and the chase continued. It made me think of the opening stanza of Nabokov's 𝘗𝘢𝘭𝘦 𝘍𝘪𝘳𝘦.

5 ways to answer a question, in preferential order: 1) Not at all. 2) With another question. 3) As a different question that you wish had been asked. 4) As obliquely as possible. 5) Directly.

#literature #poetry Sylvia Plath's poem 𝘛𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘴, written in 1961 (published posthumously in 1965) can be read - I believe - not only as poetry, but also as elevated, incomparable prose. Imagine reading her autobiography, had she written one, and slipping unaware into this passage.
