For the third or fourth time in as many weeks, a professor has recommended memorizing poetry to, as Susan Cheever put it, “have a gem in your pocket at all times.”. It’s not a new concept, but I haven’t been required to memorize since “Friends, Romans, countrymen.” or “Whose woods these are.” Ninth grade, maybe. Spoke with us. And The Writer's Almanac. And shout ...

Reading, Writing and Redford. Impressions of books and films, creativity in general and one movie star in particular. Thursday, January 17, 2013. Madrid: The Way It Was. I have never met the idol of my younger self, the star of movies I love most, like The Way We Were. And Out of Africa. Enter fancy hotels in t-shirts and baseball caps. I looked again.

Reading, Writing and Redford. Impressions of books and films, creativity in general and one movie star in particular. Saturday, January 15, 2011. Not long ago, my friend Lisa brought me to a musty and cramped office basement for a used-book sale. It was All-You-Can-Read Day—fill a grocery bag for $5—and I shook at having to narrow my choices from thousands.
