Current Read: The persistence of memory Kuberski, Philip. The Persistence of Memory: Organism, Myth, Text. Berkeley : University of California Press, 1992. Berkeley University Press has this wonderful digital library. There has seemed something both soothing and sad to reading books this week, a week which brought both war and spring so much closer, after such a long hard winter. I find, in particular, I crave poetry and novels, voices to tell of memory and myth, history and ghosts of ancient queens, to be reminded of what is beautiful and brave and timeless. I recommend Kundera's _Slowness_, or Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra," or Pound's anything, even Thoreau's _Walden_. Peace, be still. Watch the stars, but don't let your foot step in the dogcrap on the sidewalk. 8:11:34 AM    comment []
