Against Breaking by Ada Limon
Rate this book

A wonderful essay that everyone should read about why poetry (and art and literature and nature) are so vital to our human existence. The foreword placing this essay, a speech Limon made at the end of her tenure as the country's twenty-fourth Poet La ...more

Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach

Clear rating
I loved this book! I finished it on my solo roadtrip, and it's what helped me come home to Seth. I appreciated her concept of the "trance of unworthiness" and how we can be flattened and flatten other people (even those close to us) when we are strug ...more

The End of The Novel of Love by Vivian Gornick
Rate this book

Every time I read Vivian Gornick, I learn more. For instance, I did not at all think about the relationship between Lily Briscoe and Mrs. Ramsay in Woolf's To the Lighthouse. At least, that relationship isn't what stayed with me. Lily and Mrs. Ramsay ...more

I loved this book. It's another of Redel's I'm reading in response to the talk I watched on collaging together a novel. I was struck by her mastery with point of view, that there are 17 of them (I believe). So beautiful and painful. It was helpful to ...more

The Art of Loving by Erich Fromm
Rate this book
Clear rating
This book kept coming up in other books I've been reading. I was blown away by Fromm's ideas about love, which he published in 1956. They felt relevant and important and necessary. And the book is on hold at the library, so I have to return it earlie ...more

I loved this novel. I need to buy this book and analyze it more closely. I decided to read it after listening to a craft talk she gave about using collage to structure a book, and I was intrigued by the way she talked about the process of writing thi ...more

The Site of Memory by Toni Morrison
Rate this book

I loved this essay/talk. I appreciated the way that Morrison connected her own writing projects to the lineage of African American slave narratives. I so appreciate what she says about interiority.

In the Blood by Carl Phillips

What a remarkable book, an even more remarkable first book of poems. These poems were full of longing and haunting detail as well as restraint. There is such a tension between desire and how the speaker talks about it. I'm still thinking about the la ...more

It was wonderful to read this after learning about the construction of some of these poems in Smith's book Dear Writer. I need to buy this one and refer back to it the next time I put a collection together. I loved it. ...more

Silence, Joy by Thomas Merton

I loved this beautiful book. It was a good choice to bring with me on my first solo retreat, at Holy Wisdom monastery, this May.
Merton was an unusual voice in Catholicism, and this book reverberated with Tara Brach's Radical Acceptance and Mary Oliv
