i am making a shepard's pie and, after i stuff myself full of said deliciousness, i am going to lay down with my notebook and my beautiful Jean Genet. i am going to write and read and write and read until i fall asleep. and oh, what a perfect diamond this man is! i must get a copy of Wojnarowicz's autobiography as a follow up. these men, born in to tragedy, who led tragic lives but managed to create an avenue of transcendence, a way to take the shit of life and mold it in to such an uncommon Beauty. i'm grateful for them. i'm grateful for their sensitivity and tenacity and ferocity. i'm grateful for all the writers in my life. endlessly so. more and more and more.

Genet and shepherd's pie - an odd but exciting combination, of the ordinary and, as you say, the transcendent.
I'm avoiding working on my tax by blogging at the moment, Angela, nothing half so wonderful as reading Genet.
hahahaha! in a few short months i will be finding alternatives to doing my taxes too! as i am thankful for your blog, i definitely won't chide you. :)
genet and shepard's pie is so homey and domestic and lovely. i didn'y write at all until this morning when i wrote for 2 hours straight. what a big gift. :)
