Books of the Month, February 2018

Looking for a good book? Here are my favorites from the past month. What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky, by Lesley Nneka Arimah. Holy crud, but this woman can write! I don’t often read short story collections, mostly because a short story sucks me in so completely and then poof, it’s … Continue reading Books of the Month, February 2018

Poem of the Week, by Stephan Pastis

We used to call them the funnies, and I have a memory of sitting on my dad’s big lap while he folded the newspaper in half, then quarters, so he could read them to me. This would have been on a Sunday, because I remember the strips as being full-color. I still read the daily … Continue reading Poem of the Week, by Stephan Pastis
