Straw for the Fire: From the Notebooks of Theodore Roethke by Theodore Roethke. I ordered this after seeing a quote from it over on Calm Things.
What We Talk About When We Talk About Love by Raymond Carver. I ordered this after seeing it mentioned over on Poet Shoes.
A Likely Story: The Writing Life by Robert Kroetsch. I ordered this after a recent conversation in which it was recommended.
The first crows of the season arrived last week. The first junco arrived yesterday just before our first thunderstorm. It was brief, but a storm is a storm.

I read the Carver book about six months ago. Really excellent.
If you like the first story (my favourite in the collection), consider checking out "Everything Must Go", a movie from a couple years back that is loosely based on it (and isn't half bad, all things considered).
Cool! Thanks, Rob!
Sounds like good reading weather...
It is! :)
I love your book photos Brenda. Few things better than getting books in the mail. I've read some of the Carver stories. He's a master of the understated.
Thanks, Francie! I'm halfway through Kroetsch's book. So smart and funny. Carver is next.
If we lived closer together, I could borrow those.
(failed the scrambled words again. It gets harder and harder to prove I'm not a robot. too much time outdoors is telling?)
You sure could!
ha!
