This is what my last year has been about. Haven‘t really had the time to start, let alone finish any of my own books. But he‘s been enjoying mommy reading to him his books. His favorite at the moment is Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Plus we‘ve moved again and most of my books are still in storage. Can‘t wait to get them out and organize my bookshelves when I order new ones.

My older brother(18 months apart;we were in each others pockets)had the privilege of participating in a poetry seminar hosted by Denise Levertov at Tufts University. She taught there from 1973 to 1979 & lived in Somerville as he did.I visited him often, an easy bus ride from Worcester Ma,where I was attending college.He spoke of his admiration for her often,especially in the context of political activism.I am excited about this biography!
pickI listened to this as read by Samuel West who was the perfect narrator. Most people have heard of this, it won the 1990 Booker Prize. It‘s a deep dive into nineteenth century poetry and modern day (well 1980s!) literary academics, particularly a pair of researchers, Roland and Maud who discover some hidden letters. There‘s mystery, romance, academic politics, feminist theory and a lot of 19th century style poems. ⬇️
Just 7 prompts this quarter…. So 10 more to go…..

3 Non fiction! Some YA! And Fantasy! 😌📚💕
pickThis beautiful verse novel really tugged at my emotions. It describes the aftermath of an accidental shooting and how two families lives are forever changed.

pickMandelstam is known far more for his poetry, but this book gathers some of his prose in a striking collection that shows his poet's mind at work. The main pieces here a memoir about his childhood, his one and only short story (which is striking for its absurdity and almost stream of consciousness style), & two pieces of travel writing. Mandelstam is not interested in revealing much of himself, but keenly observing the people, places, and things.
Oh look is that my new house ❤️ I‘ll be spending July in my new house unpacking while listening to all these audiobooks! I can‘t wait to give it the Kristen touch! #bookspin #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks
pickA memoir of singer/songwriter/actress Jewel who grew up with her father among what she describes as “growing up always camping”and a divorced, hippie, manipulative mother. It is her journey both inward and outward of performing, singing, struggling with finances and relationships to her current mature outlook as a single divorced mother. Jewel is as resilient as they get & this memoir is well worth reading for those on their own journeys.
pickThe author‘s husband dies unexpectedly and too soon. Their young son finds him in his last moments. And his beloved wife, now a widow, processes these events and figures out how to go on alone. Yup, super emotional. And absolutely beautifully written. Alexander is a poet and professor. She knows the craft of writing. And it shows. Loved every word of this!
