I learn so much from her about paying attention to both the world and to language. I particularly liked "Remembering" though they are all stunners in their own way.
A dense book of lyrical essays. Don't read these if you are in a rush - it is a book best savored, essay by essay, like a hard candy dissolving on the tongue. The last essay was my favorite.
Again, i chose to blaze ahead. Some of the descriptions in the book seem forced to the point that i thought “is language really like a thin paper that flutters under a table chair, just out of reach and clinging to the hardwoods?”
I decided it wasn’t and moved on.

The amazing thing about this book is what she does with language. It's not a page turner, but it's delightful.
