I really think you might like "Nightwood," which is widely available. I don't have my handy little cheat sheet for html link code on this computer, but you can read the entire 'Book of Repulsive Women" here: http://digital.library.upenn.edu/women/barnes/repulsive/repulsive.htmlAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687192784861682991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-54757064416949887902009-07-13T12:39:47.765-07:002009-07-13T12:39:47.765-07:00I've been reading a collection by Carol Ann Du...I've been reading a collection by Carol Ann Duffy which I'm thoroughly enjoying. I like Ms. Barnes's poem too - her imagery is shocking in a way. I like the use of the word "lip". I will definitely look out for her work to own and read at my leisure.<br /><br />KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-11537014396605024062009-07-12T05:55:04.103-07:002009-07-12T05:55:04.103-07:00Hi Ginger:

I'm pretty confident my back-ups will work fine, but of course one never knows for certain until one starts in. I have over 20 gigs backed up on mozy, so that's going to take days to dowload onto another machine.
