My Poems Won't Change the World

Patrizia Cavalli
Megan Mayhew-BergmanMegan Mayhew-Bergman

The Italian poet Patrizia Cavalli died this summer. A translated line from one of her poems prompted the naming of my third book. I keep her Selected Poems on my bedside table - it's MMB canon now. She's so sensual and furious, deeply human. "...io guardo, tu fiorisci." https://t.co/QOho8qJ2kF

Excited to hear from @secondshelfbks in my inbox today - and I did a doubletake when I saw that they have Stein's Everybody's Autobiography inscribed to Natalie Barney! “To Nathalie [sic], who does not have to go out to come in, and is in - Gertrude” https://t.co/DH6VQJUTBa

“But knowledge does not protect one. Life is contemptuous of knowledge; it forces it to sit in the anterooms, to wait outside. Passion, energy, lies: these are what life admires.” ― James Salter, Light Years

Woodswoman: Living Alone in the Adirondack Wilderness

Anne Labastille
Megan Mayhew-BergmanMegan Mayhew-Bergman

Anne LaBastille's Woodswoman should be more of a classic in environmental lit. She advised women to “stay strong and defiant, like a kestrel flying into the wind." I wrote about her a while back, but find myself coming to her again. https://t.co/Akfik8M6Sx https://t.co/as71ixJQoQ
