I love trying out these exercises! I happen to read this piece in a public library, which is a perfect place to explore the newness in what appears to be familiar. Thanks so much...

Oh yes, libraries are so good for all forms of reverie!

Or a small group of writers each make up a story about the same box and compare.

What a lovely invitation! I will definitely do this. Meanwhile, that insight about Cornell being both dream and reality, and the urge to make up stories about his little scenes - wouldn’t it be fun to do this as an ongoing exercise? Take turns making up little stories based on his boxes.
