“Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant, there is no such thing. Making your unknown known is the important thing--and keeping the unknown always beyond you.”

“That which oppresses me, is it my soul trying to come out in the open, or the soul of the world knocking at my heart for its entrance?”

“From "Her Kind"
I have found the warm caves in the woods,
filled them with skillets, carvings, shelves,
closets, silks, innumerable goods;
fixed the suppers for the worms and the elves:
whining, rearranging the disaligned.
A woman like that is misunderstood.
I have been her kind.”

“Be nobody's darling;
Be an outcast.
Take the contradictions
Of your life
And wrap around
You like a shawl,
To parry stones
To keep you warm.
Watch the people succumb
To madness
With ample cheer;
Let them look askance at you
And you askance reply.
Be an outcast;
Be pleased to walk alone
(Uncool)
Or line the crowded
River beds
With other impetuous
Fools.
Make a merry gathering
On the bank
Where thousands perished
For brave hurt words
They said.
Be nobody's darling;
Be an outcast.
Qualified to live
Among your dead.”

Just wondering if the copy of Her Kind A novel has been sent out to me as yet?
Hope you are doing well and enjoying your Summer. Take care.
Carol

Thank you accepting my friendship request.
I won the copy of Her Kind: A Novel July 4th drawing, much to my dismay my local post office notified that the wrapper with my address was found in the mail separated from the contents. Wrapper return address is First Reads Giveaway, no return address. I was looking forward to reading your book. Thank you for offering your book as a giveaway it is deeply
appreciated.
Carol
Received your book in today's mail in perfect condition. Will read it as soon as I finish other books that I have started Thanks for understanding and replacing the book.
