Sometimes I'm ready to escape. This happened to us at a play on Saturday. I don't think I ever felt that way in a play before... I've been reading this book slowly. It is very emotional.Denise | Chez Danissehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418226690328176970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-34943887192575277242013-01-28T09:02:49.174-08:002013-01-28T09:02:49.174-08:00This makes me smile, Rachel.

It's interesting how, with my recent writing, so much has to do with parent-child relationships--so many poems had been about becoming a mother and now so many are about observing my husband as a father and about my own parents as individuals. I can feel myself flexing between understanding and inability to forgive. It's an interesting complexity, that of how we consider our raising, how we consider the act of raising.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684472385651395069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-29333415569929250182013-01-18T08:05:12.879-08:002013-01-18T08:05:12.879-08:00I think it's partly to live something we could...I think it's partly to live something we could never experience, to discover other viewpoints but also identify with feelings of our own. I generally find the deeper I get in, the more I like it. Also finishing a good book is always sad in a way because I'm leaving that part of myself behind in it. I hadn't heard of this book before but it sounds wonderful. Reading is such a complex process but you sum it up beautifully.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967855350498876132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-67679125181984524432013-01-16T11:47:03.508-08:002013-01-16T11:47:03.508-08:00and your post is why I would read Marie Chaix'...and your post is why I would read Marie Chaix's book.
