Welcome to Litsy!

Tye uses her mother's recipes from her life as a minister's wife on Prince Edward Island to explore the intersection of biography and folklore (the discipline.) Tye is a folklorist so this is pretty dense in scholarship (more than I would have expected from the cover) but is an interesting addition to my #canadaalaska2018 reading project. Much longer review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2492946506

More shenanigans on Woefield Farm, continuing the stories of Prudence, Seth, Earl, and Sara (and her chickens) with a few more characters. Set in the farmland of Vancouver Island, BC. #readingenvyroadtrip #canadaalaska2018

I got this when it was $1.20 for Kindle, because Harriet goes on an Alaskan cruise. It was okay, a quick read, non-linear with each chapter told in a "this is your life" tone. Family secrets, money grubbing children, and one dead but not gone spouse. #canadaalaska2018

For the first day of National Poetry Month, I revisted an old favorite from around the time I just started enjoying and seeking out poetry. The poet is more recently known as Adebe DeRango-Adem, and has another collection coming out this spring. My favorite poem in Sea Change is "mother octopus."
