#24in48 #spinepoetry challenge @24in48
I'm no poet but I did enjoy picking these from my shelves to make a quick challenge post. It reminded me to add some poetry into my #24in48 reading today, too—perhaps some Carver. He's always worth reading & rereading.
This happens when you get your paycheck and two independent bookstores and one book sale get in your way.

This is where I'm going tomorrow night. A local pub hosts 2 hours of quiet reading! No phones or talking, just beer, books and camaraderie...with no interactions. I CAN'T WAIT :) Introverts unite (separately).
I discovered this story collection when I was 14. I had just seen Robert Altman's film "Short Cuts" that was based on a number of Carver's stories. Talk about a gateway drug. This was a portal that opened up the entire world of literature and cinema goddammit. Carver's prose is minimal but it cuts deep. "Bicycles, Muscles, Cigarets" is my favorite story. #booktober #shortstories
