TheSpineView Love this! A reminder that we should tell the ones we love how special they are to us.💜 5y

Graywacke 😢 5y

Lcsmcat @Graywacke I hope this one isn‘t autobiographical. 5y

Graywacke @Lcsmcat definitely is, to a large degree. His parents did own a gas station in far west Texas. And he certainly crossed with their hyper-conservative perspectives. The darkest element, between the lines here, is that, as I understand, the station burned down, killing both his parents when they were older. (I hope I‘m correct there. When he told me this story, I didn‘t feel comfortable asking for clarity or more explanation.) 5y

Lcsmcat @Graywacke No, you wouldn‘t. I hope he‘s found some peace since then. 5y

This one was too good to wait for a prompt to use. Thanks for introducing me to a new-to-me poet @Graywacke ! I devoured it in one sitting, but I‘ll be back to savor it on my next read.

Graywacke Wow 😍The world is great place today. I never know how anyone will react to recommendations. Larry is special. So, crazy happy you enjoyed your first look. 5y

Graywacke And that‘s tough to read on my little phone, but now that I‘ve finally read it again...I need to read him again. I have one or two unread collections!! (Poetry comes and goes with me. 😕) 5y

Lcsmcat @Graywacke I worried about the tiny print on a phone, but I had to get the cows in. My grandfather raised Herefords. 5y

Tamra Is the poetry primarily nature focused? If so I‘ll check it out! 5y

Lcsmcat @Tamra Some of it is, and much of it is Texas-inspired. 5y

Tamra @Lcsmcat I will check to see if it is in my library system. 😁 5y

Cathythoughts Great picture ❤️❄️ (edited) 5y

Lcsmcat @Cathythoughts Thanks. It‘s from the internet - we don‘t get that much snow here. 5y

#BookMail! The best way to end a Monday. I don‘t know who Connor was/is @Graywacke but his loss is my gain.(I love surprise autographed books!) And I‘ve accidentally started collecting the Vintage paperbacks for the #catherbuddyread. These covers are singed by the same illustrator who did my cover for A Lost Lady. Since she depicted Mrs. Forrester as a strawberry blonde, I don‘t hold out hope that these covers will be accurate! 😀

Graywacke Nice titles dropping in, a good Monday, indeed. (I‘m putting Connor down as fickle poetry fan. 😐) 5y

So I _had_ to place an order on ThriftBooks to claim my free book before it expired. No pressure @Graywacke but these are all due to you - two for future #catherbuddyread events, and your poet friend‘s collection. #blameitonlitsy 😀

Graywacke ☺️ I‘m sorry? Thomas is fun, and serious too. Wonder if you can find a video of him reading, to get his (heavily Texan) accent. ... should find something here http://www.larrydthomas.com/default.htm 5y

Lcsmcat @Graywacke Never be sorry for enabling my book buying habit. 😀 And thanks for the link. It‘s cool to hear poets reading their own work. 5y

Graywacke @Lcsmcat 🙂 I‘m flattered. And looking for to A Lost Lady. 5y
