Devotions: A Read with Jenna Pick: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver
Mary Oliver
My bookmarks are handwritten notes from friends & family & they are fresh hellos whenever I pull out a book I haven’t read in a while, like today’s Devotions by Mary Oliver. So what I am saying is write those notes when you can, because unlike us they can live forever. #breathe https://t.co/I313FDMWUM

The Daughters of Erietown
Connie Schultz
This is an intersectional account of what it has meant to be a woman in America for the past century. ... Griffith forces us to consider the complexity of women and acknowledge that we have been “oppressors, progressives, enslaved, activists, adversaries and allies.”

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
Betty Smith
@IsaacFitzgerald @theferocity @jesmimi I’ve traced back my earliest days of imagining I could be a writer to age 11, when I read Betty Smith’s A Tree Grows In Brooklyn. I was a working-class girl who suddenly believed girls like me had stories to tell, too.

The Symposium
Benjamin Jowett
“…as a kid, if I’m reading Plato’s Symposium or George Eliot or Greek myth, I was an interloper in all of those worlds. There was no expectation that any of those books were ever going to hold my hand through the references they made, to the world they made.” - Elaine Castillo https://t.co/74D1FA9SmD

Born to Run
Bruce Springsteen
@amk44139 From Bruce Springsteen’s autobiography, Born to Run: “You are introduced to the album’s central characters and its main proposition: do you want to take a chance? ‘The screen door slams, Mary’s dress sways’ — that’s a good opening line, you can take it anywhere.”
