Welcome to Litsy!

I went to Hey Books in San Diego honestly not knowing that today was independent bookstore day. I thought there was a book signing because the line was way out the door. I managed to survive the crowd pharmaceutical free! I bought the tagged book and an “Eat the Rich” sticker. I Hope you all are having a great day.

Another of the many rereads I started months ago and have been reading on and off ever since. She and her work have always spoken to me, but I don‘t know if I‘ve ever identified with her personally through her poems quite as deeply as I do at this particular moment in my life. Then again, maybe with the really great writers you feel that all over again each time you read them.

I can‘t listen to music while I read. My ADD brain just isn‘t up to the challenge. But that doesn‘t mean my reading doesn‘t influence my listening choices. Hardly a week goes by when I‘m not inspired by what I‘m reading to seek out a new band, a playlist, or an old favorite.
