I picked this up after Louise Penny credited it as the poetry she uses for Ruth Zardo in the Three Pines series. I‘ll admit some went above my head, but some was actually pretty approachable and touching. #BookspinBingo #wintergames2020 #crushtherush #readyourway #readnosereindeer

Another poem for your Tuesday from the brilliant Margaret Atwood. Friendly reminder that we don‘t actually own anything the earth provides and Mother Nature could take it away at any moment. #poetry

L. G. Cullens Have you read The Overstory by Richard Powers? It might appeal to your sensibilities? It did mine and the writing was above reproach.

I'm currently reading Eager by Ben Goldfarb and finding it engrossing, even though as a naturalist I already know much of the story matter.

These and a few other such books help me to believe there is some wisdom in our weedy species :-) 5y

KendallHershey @L. G. Cullens ooh thanks for the recommendations! I‘ll add them to my TBR. 5y

LoverOfLearning Beautiful poem!! 5y

This is a book of poetry by Atwood, exploring the theme of torture, in particular the torture of women, through the retelling of myths such as Cressida, and Helen of Troy. The above is part of the poem ‘Helen of Troy Does Countertop Dancing‘. You can read the rest of the poem here: https://m.poemhunter.com/poem-amp/helen-of-troy-does-countertop-dancing/

I didn't know Margaret Atwood until last year, when I read The Handmaid's Tale, which is one of the greatest books I have ever come across. The more I learn about her, the more I admire her strength and the power she bestows upon all of us women through her words. You are a goddess, ma'am. You make me feel like one too. Today is our day. .

Jan. 18: In The Secular Night. I think her poetry is so much better than her prose. 😲🙂#LitsyPoetry365

Tis the season for all things spooky. ?

I've been listening to the Lore podcast lately for some spooky folklore & came across a cool literary fact. Episode 12, "Half-Hanged," discusses Mary Webster, an alleged witch in 1600s Massachusetts who was hanged but didn't die. Margaret Atwood claims to be a descendent of her & wrote this poem, "Half-Hanged Mary" & dedicated The Handmaid's Tale to her. ??

BookishFeminist @kmdartist I listened to that one last night myself! I've been to Eastern State Penitentiary's haunted house they do every Halloween so it was spooky 😱 I think I have photos of al capone's cell somewhere. It was a good episode! 8y

BookishFeminist @BibliOphelia Yes, I hadn't realized it before but it was a fun tidbit of literary history 😀 8y

BibliOphelia I went to school at UMass and have spent a lot time in Hadley over the years. I also worked at an Indie bookstore and started a literary festival in Salem (which is where my dad was born & grew up), so I can't help but love these witchy connections! 8y

This_Accidental_Hipster Damn that quote is incredible. One of those sentences that can be strung up with different meanings and scenarios 8y
