Understanding our need for novelty and change
What makes your brain happy and why you should do the opposite

I want to compare this book with 'The geography of bliss'.

The writing style is so 20 years ago, that it is hard to read. This book needs a makeover as ' new non fiction'.

Dog moon, Radio moon, Poetry moon

The book of men

In Learning to drive, I liked the ending

to let me go it alone. his back pressed

against all that emptiness



I liked Mine own Phil Levine for its 'to wait, to hold true/ to my vision, to speak in my own voice' and 'to be yourself in your own time, to stand up/ that poetry was precision, raw precision/ Truth and compassion: genius'.

I liked The rising of a pregnant mare too. Author Dorianne Laux's interview on the poem and the book.

I liked the Dog moon poem too. There's a bit on it in the above interview link. his poem can be used as a poetry exercise too with its 'dog moon, radio moon, panic moon....'

Another interview of the author.

Too much sci-fi to continue
