William Gass' love for Rilke led him to write Reading Rilke (1999), which he concluded with remarks that he recycled as a conclusion for his essay 'Retrospection,' (collected in Life Sentences):

'The poem is thus a paradox. It is made of air.' šŸ–¤

Mary has modesā€”30+ books. A critic ought, imo, to have read at least a 3rd across decades to make a wholesale assessment. Even that'd be 66% in the dark. In part, her work's a lifelong trauma response, an attempt at healing. I love this mode, among others: vqronline.org/gravel

Long shot, but anyone know a good org that might donate or loan a dog wheelchair for a large dog? Addie's still hanging on for a bit longer, but has significant muscle atrophy in her rear left leg, and could use the help.

Anyone have a good rec for a US-based high-quality book printer? Used McNaughton & Gunn in the past but they've sold.
