Snap Chat has Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Filters… my day started off with a really sweet message from my nephew as Raphael.
Still waiting btw— hopefully soon. Thanks again for showing me how it summarizes!
Rita Dove (American Smooth) 
Google's NotebookLM opines the poem 'Canary' by Rita Dove
Using a poem referenced by @katrintheresa
#poetry #poem #LLM
Rita Dove’s poetry has inspiring me for over a decade— *American Smooth* is one of my favorite books. I found the poems stunning & healing when grieving for my sister the year after she died.
Define “a walk in the park” — sometimes walking is spooky 😉 We appreciate you!
I have relatives who would love this— maybe one day they will join Nostr. They don’t use Social Media that much though unless it’s family related. Also— I know of a lady who runs a group called “The Legion Of Mary” — they meet to say the rosary among other things. Children are in the group
If you read the NYT (I only say this because I see many criticize the media to the point they refuse to read anything—I’m not trying to be forceful— just an offer)… so here is a gift article: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/24/world/europe/armenians-nagorno-karabakh-azerbaijan.html?unlocked_article_code=5_NGy6SOWvGD9m59r-3a2U3H8DNO1GUN2gROjZzgRbClQrs-9qk2SkTitUvDP3w5Rz9kU3_iCXMS82ltR_39exoNccnsEKeW4LGDnAhLWRRNoDY53jdIw9Koc78tRzwJ2N0nqBUe79e891eUzdW-9L5e9nHX-fqRLga8P0JhVnbHVH4Li8GVKTUJHuJxuwHCJeXuQInXCqcg5rsGG7DjsyIGnbWKdacgEBb-utUgTfhuAQIXPWYtLc6f8z5yxEEnq60JJuQXug8CrTuWbkLX8OfYBPC-Iu04wGKza36bQEjbzuIAz5oLLRjvcaQMXvBTzNSq3kws-SpRyBwFp6_PxiW_bJEjBqWTeHXGoLUvRSPuppO9&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
They’re truly the sweetest books with great illustrations.
Oswald de Andrade marks the 3rd Brazilian author to read. I deeply appreciate your insight! I wish I didn’t need a translator— but grateful for talented & artful ones. I will check in with some translators I know to get some thoughts— Thank you!
I hope I can sleep in tomorrow… that’s the plan. This week was unusually exhausting for me. My body’s way of fighting off all the seasonal illnesses that are circulating— perhaps. Hoping for more energy this weekend— fun things planned. Have a good night/day ✨
Love this because I blush (when my temperature changes). Every book so far has a unique angle on the smallest details of a personality that shape experiences. I still cry when I read Gustavo— my students & I talk about what it means to be shy.
Bought this for my classroom library… I’m a huge fan of Flavia Z. Drago’s picture books. Last October, my students & I predicted which character would come to life in a story this year! Gustavo is still my favorite. 
This is what is luring me… “error that plague any attempt to codify systems of knowledge." & that she translated Clarice Lispector.
Maybe this: “Macunaima can only be a bear to translate, and the first English-language version, which appeared in 1984, was rather stodgy, with much of the book's distinctive character sacri-ficed. But Dodson, the winner of a PEN translation prize for The Complete Stories of Clarice Lispector, acquits herself commendably here, managing to capture the playfulness, whimsicality, and sheer derangement of the novel. As she acknowledges, "Andrade's rhapsody revels in a confusion of tongues and deliberately emphasizes the instability and error that plague any attempt to codify systems of knowledge." Given the chaos he induces, her endnotes provide a welcome anchor, particularly in their explanation of terms and legends from Tupi language and folklore.”
Yes! And he refused to travel to receive the award— Patti Smith’s dedication to him was beautiful.
yes! Reading a piece in now in the October 5th issue of The New York Review of Books by Larry Rohter… reading about Brazil (from the outside) about some works by Mário de Andrade. Any worth reading?
