“A word is dead / When it is said, / Some say. / I say it just / Begins to live / That day.”
— Emily Dickinson, poet (1830-1886)
I love that the New York Botanical Garden has put up an exhibit based on Dickinson’s gardens. Talk about bringing poetry (through flowers) to life. I’ve been reading a couple of biographies lately about Dickinson. (You’ll find lots of good bio info on her online, of course.)
This week at our house we’re reading “The Lightning Thief,” by Rick Riordan (we’ve just started the series, and it’s as good as everyone says), “Gregor the Overlander,” by Suzanne Collins (“The Hunger Games,” “Catching Fire”) and yes, anything and everything Pokemon.
For book club, we’ve started on “Little Women” and “Little Vampire Women.” Yes, we like to read. It really cuts into our TV time, haha.
What are you reading?
Best,
Ms. Nancy
