missizzyI have now read through most of Blackened White. I have a complicated relationship with poetry, often struggling with it when it's more arty and abstract. But this is the kind of poetry I am very good with, probably because it's very direct. Also very blunt and raw at times; Brian pulled no punches with this book, and that makes it feel very real. And then one of them catches you by surprise with how smart and observant their writer happens to be. (Though there have been times reading it I've been kind of amazed that this was his now fiancee's first introduction to him. Talk about knowing a guy's skeletons first.)
Finished the Awesome Ladies entry, and then had quite a time trying to get auphonic.com to work for me to get it to the requested volume. Though I may or may not try to make further use of that website in the future, especially having learned just a little bit from my first attempt with it.
The ads I hear on Spotify now include a PSA from VA's Department of Health urging us all to wear masks. A bit late for that, maybe, but hey.
