The other day, a post that I thought was really interesting was RT’d into my Twitter feed. It’s from Brandon Shimoda, whose work I am unfamiliar with, but who is a poet and a writer: “Early in our friendship, Etel Adnan gave me a list of books to read and when I thanked her for the ‘recommendations’ she said, ‘These are not recommendations. I would like to share them with you to create a common ground in a world we both like so profoundly, a silent language.’
I, for one, would be honored to get a list like that from you.
Ah, thanks, friend.
