@judithclaire25 @NERweb Loved this essay! NER was my lucky Journal of the Month Club selection for November and your essay the first that I read. Then, twice more. When good writing cuts to the heart I hate to step away when it ends — so back I go — like resetting a needle on a retro stereo. Bravo!

@sugarpigblog @lumchanmfa @forge_litmag I need an emoji for “moved speechless by beautiful writing” !! 😶

@monaewrites Always. After spending time so closely observing a writer’s mind on the page I want to know who shaped the person and the text. Bonus: if I loved the book there are clues on where to read next 😉

@amethystwrites @ElectricLit @katie_a_rob Just finished reading this essay (catching up on Memoir Monday emails from August) and MERCY that was a lovely and artful read. Will definitely be watching for the memoir!

@JesseLKercheval @lithub Enjoyed reading this essay so much I pulled The Alice Stories off my shelf and reread the referenced material, which made me feel kinda geeky so thank you for that. 😃
