I wonder what will happen if I ask my students if they have a talisman book … or challenge them to find one by the end of our next semester. Sal, this post is inspiring me AGAIN!
Book-love, we summon you….
I will be immensely glad to think of you in your writing retreat. 😶🌫️💕
I'll keep you posted on the student choices down the line. As for mine, I think my next post will center on one of my taliswoman books. Hint: It turned 100 two months ago. Visual clue: 💐. I just reread it and swooned even more than the first time (if that can be done). ...
this is marvelous and calls to mind my own sequence of talisman books - i slept with each of the last two under my pillow for a time… i don’t have one of those now, and you have me wondering why… blessings on you!
Yes! It seems like summer has taken over at the moment, but I'd love to do it again. Maybe you have an inspiring work of architecture we could dream on?
Thanks for the intro, Sal. I had no idea about this Simic book, but it sounds wonderful. Exactly the kind of thing I want to read atm. Tracking down a copy right now!

I love that idea, Tara. Immediately I want to know their books, and also your books!

Please do let me know! Excited for your post. Maybe there’s a collaboration somewhere in all of this.

Tom, I so want to know exactly what books those are or were. Have you ever written about them?
sent in an email 🤗
Oh yay!
Oh, what a marvelous reminder! We always said we could do it again. Maybe soon? Thanks for the memories, Sal!

Also, this story made me think of you:

I'd be up for animal tales.
