Belcourt, man. 👏🏻 He says such relatable things in such an eloquent and original fashion. You recognize it as a thought pulled from your brain, but know you'd never have the words to say it the way he does. 🤌🏻

One of my literary lodestars. 😔💔 Maybe more than any other writer, she's helped me make sense of myself and the world.
pick#ReadingChallenge #poetry #readingwithmaja Well, this was my April poetry pick , so life getting in the way of reading persists. Atwood‘s poetry is very good , her topics then same as now. Nature, living ,aging,family, just universal. Novels or poetry, Atwood is always worth reading. Always thought provoking.Margaret is 84 years old now ,and still adding to the conversations of life & literature.
Just heard about this-2 days late. I have not read all her books, but those that I have I‘ve thoroughly enjoyed. I love the book written by her daughter about their relationship.

Sophie looks on..
“Her children say they hope she has not taken to Living in the Past. But what she believes she is doing, what she wants to do if she can get the time to do it, is not so much live in the past as to open it up and get one good look at it.” —“Powers” (2004)
—Alice Munro (1931-2024)
Yesterday marked the passing of a true master of the short story, and winner of the Nobel. Alice Munro was 92. Her birthplace & later the home she lived in with her second husband are both very close to me in Huron County, Ontario. I can honestly say I did not appreciate her work as a teenager however I grew to love it in my 30s. Actually, I adore it. The tagged is my favourite of her collections, although all of them are good. #alicemunro
