My last post was the Yeats poem "The Second Coming." Many people over the past 99 years have borrowed phrases from that poem. Complete article is here https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2015/04/07/no-slouch/

#SundayMorningCoffeeMug Quietly catching up onthe Paris Review Fall issue with David Sedaris and Ann Beattie. Happy Sunday Morning littens!
Did someone say #magazinesjournalsnewspapers? Why yes, I believe @bookriot said exactly that for Day 21 of #Riotgrams. I am a proud procurer, hoarder, keeper and consumer of all three. I give absolutely zero 🦊 that all of these are available online. Here are some of my organized ones, but really, I have them all over the house (and in my bag, my car, beside and under the bed...) My husband is not a fan. Marriage=compromise 😛
"I listened, thinking I'd be next to try
to crowd a lifetime of things
into a shrinking universe of boxes.
I've started to dismantle my life already, throwing out letters from people I remember loving,
choosing among books--this one to stay,
that one to go-- as if I were a judge
sentencing some to death, the rest
to the purgatory of the emptying shelf."
Except from Linda Pastan's poem, Plunder, in the current Paris Review. Photo from Tumblr.

Reading the latest issue of The Paris Review and munching on these delicious rockin' ranch chickpeas.
Nothing like curling up with the new issue of #theparisreview after a long mind-numbing work day.
A graduate student's task of reviewing lit journals despite being all kinds of poor.
Sooooooo. School started (MFA here I come) and my reading for sport has come to a halt. I am reading, however, some really great journals for class. Oh...and audiobooks are a blessing when you drive 1 hour to school. #dedicated #writergoals
"I wasn't a child for long, and after I wasn't, I was something else. I was this. And that. A blast furnace, a steel maze inside, the low-level engine room of an ocean liner." - Mary Jo Bang in The Paris Review 216, Spring 2016
