Books

In 2015, we shared two books.

Here are a few more that I have found devastating, stunning, beautiful.

h is for hawk naturalist.jpg

By naturalist Helen Macdonald after losing her father

pasta with onions beautiful.jpg

By poet Elizabeth Alexander after suddenly losing her husband. Look for the recipe for spagehtti with 100 onions.

medicine sad alone expensive.jpg

By classicist and working-class single mother Anne Boyer. Alan's illness shook me once, this shakes me again in realizing we have so few ways to truly talk about illness.
