"White-Eyes - by Mary Oliver In winter all the singing is in the tops of the trees where the wind-bird with its white eyes shoves and pushes among the branches. Like any of us he wants to go to sleep, but he's restless— he has an idea, and slowly it unfolds from under his beating wings as long as he stays awake. But his big, round music, after all, is too breathy to last. So, it's over. In the pine-crown he makes his nest, he's done all he can. I don't know the name of this bird, I only imagine his glittering beak tucked in a white wing while the clouds— which he has summoned from the north— which he has taught to be mild, and silent— thicken, and begin to fall into the world below like stars, or the feathers of some unimaginable bird that loves us, that is asleep now, and silent— that has turned itself into snow." Source: Poetry Magazine, 2002.

Dorothy Richardson was one of the earliest modernist writers to use stream of consciousness as a narrative technique. 🌿 'Pilgrimage' is a sequence of thirteen semi- autobiographical novels, published between 1915 and 1967, following the life of the protagonist, Miriam Henderson, rendered as a collection of incidents in her personal pilgrimage toward herself. 🌿 I read the first three novels in the series (Pointed Roofs, 1915; Backwater, 1916; and Honeycomb, 1917), and you can read my full review on my blog (link in bio). 🌿 . . . “She knows she is alive and that there is no escape from being alive. But it has never made her feel breathless with joy. She laughs all day, at everybody and everything, and at night when she is naked and alone she moans; moan, moan, moan, heart-broken; wind and rain alone in the dark in a great open space.” – Backwater, Dorothy Richardson . . . . . #bookstagram #bookreview #bookblogger #dorothyrichardson #pilgrimage #igreads #igbooks #streamofconsciousness #modernistwriter #readwomen2018 #readwomen #viragomodernclassics

The memoir 'I Am I Am I Am', by Maggie O'Farrell (2017) comprises seventeen essays, organized in non-chronological order, that explore the author's close encounters with death. You can read my full review on my blog (link in bio). . . . "I acquired a simultaneous sense of time as a vast continuum, and an awareness that my stretch in it would be short, insignificant. I knew in that moment, and perhaps for the first time, that I would one day die, that at some point there would be nothing left of me, my mittens, my breathing, my curls, my hat. I felt that conviction for the first time. My death felt like a person standing there next to me." ― Maggie O’Farrell, I Am, I Am, I Am: Seventeen Brushes with Death . . . . . . #bookreview #nonficnovember #maggieofarrell #memoir #bookstagram #igreads #igbooks #booksofinstagram #instabooks #readwomen2018 #readwomen #bookblogger #bookish
