Maggie Smith Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Maggie Smith

Finally watched The Banshees of Inisherin, and kept saying, all the way though, "this sounds like a play," only to see at the end that it was written by Martin McDonagh, whose play "The Beauty Queen of Leenane" is a favorite of mine. Spot on. So beautifully written and paced.

@Joseph_Fasano_ 💗🙏 What the Living Do by Marie Howe is the first that came to my mind. A grief poem, but also a self-cherishing poem. https://t.co/KC6ofbrzHv

I muttered to myself—yes! this exactly! so fucking smart!—and dogeared, underlined, and starred passages through this whole brilliant book.

This must be the most thoughtful gift a poet has ever sent me: a handmade scarf in KEEP MOVING colors with part of a favorite Szymborska poem on it. From “Consolation”: True or not, I’m ready to believe it. @fascicles, you are a wonder. Your book is a wonder, too. Thank you. x https://t.co/HFojGGnygr

I tweeted once about taking my wedding dress on a road trip…and then @mountain_goats wrote “Picture of My Dress”…and then we got to talk about all that & more. God I love cross-pollination in the arts. Big thanks to John Darnielle, who is brilliant & funny & kind.💛 https://t.co/UZx704zBTO

This day just got infinitely better: new novel by John Darnielle @mountain_goats & a bleeding devil house candle I lit right away like a kid on Christmas morning. Tonight I have a hot date with this book. I’m such a fan of John’s writing & cannot wait to dig in. 🖤🩸📖 https://t.co/TKOyUALldk
