Hello! Checking in—
Tomorrow (Sunday) we’ll have our sixth meeting in our ongoing conversation about the essays in Best American Essays, 2023!
I love hearing from those who join in. At this point, we’ve got a solid set of essays that we’ve read in common, with room for discussion to move in any direction.
The conversation is free ranging, about ideas, art, making work and considering our lives, the world we live in, text and context, connotations and denotations, value systems, experiences, equity, social justice, writing, style and substance, along with any reach toward something like…truth…and beauty.
Always.
What’s better than that?
Sunday, 11:00 AM PST, aka Oregon Time.

The sunset yesterday was beautiful. It looks like it went all the way up to BC too. I started writing my first essay so these discussions have been very valuable to me.
These Sundays have filled a creative, intellectual, conversational void in my life. And have made me get unstuck with my own writing (and photography). I hope we keep going--I would be totally invested in reading the other genres of Best series. Thank you all, and it has also been lovely to make new writing/writing teacher friends. 🌺🙏❤️
