Today 🍃 . . "At Great Pond the sun, rising, scrapes his orange breast on the thick pines, and down tumble a few orange feathers into the dark water. On the far shore a white bird is standing like a white candle --- or a man, in the distance, in the clasp of some meditation --- while all around me the lilies are breaking open again from the black cave of the night. Later, I will consider what I have seen --- what it could signify --- what words of adoration I might make of it, and to do this I will go indoors to my desk --- I will sit in my chair --- I will look back into the lost morning in which I am moving, now, like a swimmer, so smoothly, so peacefully, I am almost the lily --- almost the bird vanishing over the water on its sleeves of night." - Mary Oliver . . . . . . . . . . #instapoetry #maryoliver #readpoetry #readwomen #readwomen2019 #fromwhereistand #leiamulheres

I've been dipping in and out of Plath's collected letters for the past six months now. I like the fragmented, multifaceted image those letters make of her, and it's nice to read them in tandem with Plath's unabridged journals. . . . "I write only because There is a voice within me That will not be still" Sylvia Plath, Letters Home, introduction . . . . . #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #instabooks #igreads #igbooks #sylviaplath #collectedletters #collectedlettersofsylviaplath #readwomen #readwomen2019 #leiamulheres #leiamulheres2019 #frauenlesen

Hello, folks! On today's topic for #booksandhotdrinkstuesday we are discussing our favourite literary period, movement, and/ or style. 🌿 Mine is modernism, and I am particularly drawn to the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative technique. 🌿 Dorothy Richardson was one of the earliest modernist authors to use this technique (if not the first English-speaking one?). 🌿 I've read the first three books in her 'Pilgrimage' series, and I really enjoyed the way her use of stream of consciousness develops as her protagonist evolves her sense of self. 🌿 The first novels I ever read that used this technique were Woolf's 'The Waves' & Lispector's 'The Chandelier'. I was about to begin my first year of high school, and I remember feeling for the first time the sense of an opening toward everything literature can do & all the strange places it can go. 🌿 . . Have you ever felt that? Tell me about it. . . . . n.b. Group created by @katha_logisch, topic suggested by @juliabrary . . . #favouritebooks #dorothyrichardson #streamofconsciousness #modernclassics #modernistwriters #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #booksandtea #igreads #igbooks #readwomen #leiamulheres #readwomen2019 #frauenlesen #lesefreude
