Joy Enough: A Memoir
Sarah McColl
Several people recommended @sarahmccoll’s “Joy Enough” to me. I’m glad they did: this memoir so vividly renders her confluence of pain and the language is gorgeous. I think so many of us are trying to make meaning out of loss…I love how this book situates it on the page. 💜 https://t.co/BgcqPXebZw

Re-reading @oureric’s brilliant book of essays “Here For It”. Love this: Every story, whether truth or fiction, is an invitation to imagination, but even more so, it’s an invitation to empathy.
