Escape to Italy
Celebrating Elizabeth Gaskell.
And visiting Italy.
Celebrating the poet Pushkin and puzzling over English translations of his ‘Eugene Onegin.’
Tucson’s food award, with seed libraries and harvesting cactus fruits. Plus a DIY writer’s retreat.
(And yes, this is a long one. Russian literature rarely inspires brevity.)
Celebrating Van Gogh. Considering new beginnings.
And a bike ride to the Kröller-Müller Museum.
Robert Frost,
a guy who stops in yellow woods, in snowy woods…
Plus the Cone Sisters’ collection at the Baltimore Museum of Art.
Visiting Paris! Plus an appropriately-nerdy nod to Pi Day.
I discover Suzanne Valadon, Musée de Montmartre, and the Rodin Sculpture Garden.
With journal excerpts from bicycling along the Loire River in Orléans in 1989.
