Tillie Olsen's prose was one of the lights of my reading life in my twenties, but I don't know her poetry. (She's got a phrase --"the knife of the perfectionist attitude" -- that I hear in my head when I'm fighting to keep working). I'll keep my eyes open.
August is a particularly good time to leave the steaming, humid east coast, so, forewarned about the mosquitoes -- I usually don't use repellant, but this is sounding serious, and I'll be miles from town without a car -- so I'll remember to keep my skin covered, slather something on, and hope for the best.
