Fiona often says the small works draw you in and you can see the detail; and they also add a touch of intimacy - you just want to hold and engage with them. Go well.

Through out my life I have had sort of "crushes" on different writers, esp writers less known. I read one of their works then all that I can find. I discovered Pym some years ago and read with delight many of her books. In fact I think I had her autobiography at one point. Enjoy your discovery.sukipoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-66029170238189752222013-05-07T09:53:15.787-07:002013-05-07T09:53:15.787-07:00a sewing needle filled with strong smooth thread
