Spoon's review
Population: 485: Meeting Your Neighbors One Siren at a Time by Michael Perry
My favorite chapter in this book is where Mr. Perry chews on being a writer. It's a fantastic little meditation for anyone in the "arts" (ahem, now i want to punch myself). Shit, it's a fantastic meditation for anyone who is "alive".
Perry's writing is lyrical and so gosh-darn pretty. I actually cried TWICE reading this book and that is no small feat friends. I think the last time I cried reading Ramona was involved. Or maybe Batman.... I can't really remember.
This book really speaks to the part of me that lived in Mesa, CO for 2 years. I still miss the Main Drag that you could walk down the center of in the middle of the day, and having cow herds trample the daisys in yer front yard. It really makes me want to buy a farm. And I'm a city gal.
My freaking grandmother gave me this book. How fucking cool is that?
