This Writing Life: Helen Hunt Jackson

http://literaryexplorationsandjourneys.blogspot.com/2015/05/helen-hunt-jackson.html

Observations from my literary journey through this world. Saturday, May 9, 2015. In Colorado Springs, on a recent visit, my sister told me about Helen Hunt Jackson falls. "Who was Helen Hunt Jackson? A writer," she responded. "Contemporaries with Ralph Waldo Emerson, Emily Dickinson, and Harriet Beecher Stowe." Suddenly my mind reeled back to "The Belle of Amherst," where Emily Dickinson says of Helen "She has the facts, but not the phosphorescence.". No days such honored days as these! When Christ ascen...

This Writing Life: A weekend get-away

http://literaryexplorationsandjourneys.blogspot.com/2015/03/a-weekend-get-away.html

Observations from my literary journey through this world. Sunday, March 1, 2015. My first get-away after the snow - mostly - allowed me to leave the farm was to Huntsville, AL to the Monte Sano Writer's Retreat. The theme was "Unleash Your Creative Spirit! And I feel like that's what it's allowed me to do. I've come home rich with ideas and inspiration. The sessions we never would've attended ended up being the most illuminating.

This Writing Life: July 2013

http://literaryexplorationsandjourneys.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Observations from my literary journey through this world. Thursday, July 4, 2013. Don't you know that all writers ever talk about is their troubles. Lipp's is where you are going to eat and drink too. There were few people in the brasserie. And when I sat down on the bench against the wall with the mirror in back and a table in front and the waiter asked if I wanted beer. I asked for a distingué. The big glass mug that held a liter, and for potato salad. Were gone I ordered another serving and a cervelas.

This Writing Life: More of the Lost Generation

http://literaryexplorationsandjourneys.blogspot.com/2016/01/more-of-lost-generation.html

Observations from my literary journey through this world. Saturday, January 9, 2016. More of the Lost Generation. Last summer I was invited to Asheville to do a week detail in the museum storage area of the Blue Ridge Parkway. One of my favorite NPS team-mates also came, and in our free time we scoured the city for remnants of Thomas Wolfe and Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. Part of it was showing Kate places I'd already found, such as My Old Kentucky Home, Riverside Cemetery, and the Grove Park Inn. To fini...

This Writing Life: Shakespeare and Company

http://literaryexplorationsandjourneys.blogspot.com/2013/06/shakespeare-and-company.html

Observations from my literary journey through this world. Sunday, June 30, 2013. Continuing on in re-reading A Moveable Feast. I've come to the chapter about Sylvia Beach and Shakespeare and Company. The original Shakespeare and Company - Sylvia and Hem are the last two on the right. The store front is still there, but the original store was closed during WWII. The story is that Sylvia packed up and hid the entire store from the Nazis. Me by the current store. July 1, 2013 at 10:55 AM. I want to see, not...
