Toni Morrison
Toni Morrison could write. I knew of her almost exclusively
through her novels, but in her honor here is a link to an essay she wrote about
another writer’s astonishing novel, The Radiance of the King.

A tough weekend
But I opened my inbox this morning and found a poem by Harryette
Mullen and two stories by Diane Williams. And I finished reading A Tale of
Two Cities (it was referenced in Out Stealing Horses, which I read
late last week). And I threw on some French vanilla coffee, some Gustav Mahler
(symphony 5, then symphony 6), and started writing. Flannery
O’Connor: “I do what I have to with what I can.”
