Litquake Weekly Literary news, upcoming events, and whatever else we’re looking at...
“A new biography looks at the largely forgotten architect who executed more than 700 building projects in California...” A new biography about California’s first female architect is a must read • Hyperallergic
“As in dreams fraught / with irrevocable gestures, / the ruined set seems larger...” We just thought you should enjoy this Poem of the Day. • Poetry Foundation
“The essays are each just a few pages long and are grouped into sections: symmetry, mystery, chemistry, gratitude, wonder, remorse and farewell.” A call for letters to strangers led to this stunning anthology that makes us want to hop on a plane ASAP • San Francisco Chronicle Datebook
“There is pleasure in being seen and there is pleasure in disappearing. Wade into the swamp, pull out a book, wipe off the slime and sit on the edge to become invisible.” Recommended reading for when you want to be nothing more than a patch of moss • The Rumpus
“Along with this year's vibrantly blooming trees and flowerbeds (and allergies!), we present a crisp, vibrant, notable selection of current and soon-to-be-published LGBTQ books arriving on shelves.” Here you have it • Bay Area Reporter |
