If Not Winter, Fragments of Sappho

Sappho makes me believe in beauty of simplicity, and how complicated simple is. Sappho makes me breath, Sappho makes me want to be a woman. Sappho makes me feel charged and smiling. Sappho opens worlds for me even in her fragmented state.

the early church destroyed most of Sappho's work. There remains only one complete poem.

Remembrance of Things Past, Marcel Proust

Proust is beautiful.

So much that it hurts.
. So much that I wrote a little song called "For Proust" and that I don't feel I can give a review beautiful enough for him... So. Yes.

Proust, easily surpassing 5 stars.
He's an entire sky scape.

Books, Reviewed.

I love reading books. I've been a book nerd since before I can remember- I have my mother to proove this. I get a lot of ideas and insights from the books I read. Some of these shape songs and some of them don't- but they all help build perspectives.
Here is where I will list books I've read and try to provide little reviews/thoughts/opinions.

How geeky of me.
