Like a sword piercing me. Would the elderberry in my back yard, the whole of the greenbelt that winds through my neighborhood, the Cooper's hawks and their hatchlings, the barred owls, rabbits, the lone old growth cedar, the family of coyotes, the rain on the deck, the breeching Orcas in Puget Sound, would they all talk.
The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating by Elizabeth Bailey. Recovering from a knee replacement, this is the book to read. It is 1:30 in the morning. Pain wakes me. The cats stir while I maneuver around them to get out of bed. My daughter is asleep in the spare room.
oh excellent oh excellent. i also had the pleasure of a Ulysses reading group, a great thrill, to read and to listen! lifts the spirits! as does your writing! thank you, Elizabeth!
Although Ulysses is describing a day, it has taken me decades to read and even then not "properly" or completely. This is genius, Ulysses in 80. Thank you for sharing. I am hooked.
And I wish Sophie could talk too. Oh, the things she would tell you.
As always, your writing kicks me in the gut, in a good way. Intelligent discourse, stream of consciousness with a point. You are a blam.
Language. It lifts me. Thank you.
