An elderly reader told me that Wrong Norma by Anne Carson is her favorite book. That blew me away because it’s such a recent publication, & she was certainly well read. I can’t wait to read it.

“L’aigua és tan diferent de l’aire com ho són les pedres. T’obres camí entre les seves estructures, la seva antiguitat, la seva història com una entitat sense resposta per a tu i tanmateix còmplice de la intrusió.“

…no interaction with another person ever brought her a bolt of pure aliveness like entering the water on a still morning with the world empty in every direction to the sky. That first entry. Crossing the border of consciousness into, into what?

Before the others are up,dawn,she walks to the lake,listening to Bach,the first clavichord exercise,which she plans to have played at her funeral someday,has had this plan since she first heard the music,and thinking of it she weeps lightly.
