Isn't that Leakey section of the Lopez book where he describes how the black mamba will rise up to strike chest high just to fuck you up harder and faster? What a terrifying creature.

Yes. I don't normally fear snakes but this one I sure as hell do.

Thanks for the shout-out, like Tara I love that McCracken piece, and OMG Rowdy, blink twice if you wanna go home with someone else. (Also, I’ve already recommended All We Can Save to someone else without even reading it myself, but plan to do so soon -- so thanks for that too.)

It's a collection of essays and poems but it helps. We can't give up.

I will for sure read more of her work. I just read the commencement piece as well. Thank you for sharing these eloquent voices.

The Elizabeth McCracken piece was my introduction to her writing earlier this week and I was blown away. Or washed away, swept away, maybe. Anyway, as a swimmer, I loved it.

She's great. I have her new short story collection staring at me. I should read it.
