I love Emerson. Of all the Americans in history I would love to meet, Ralph Waldo Emerson is number one. He is The Man.
I've read lots and lots about him, as well as his own writings. He opens up the inner and outer worlds larger and more beautifully to me than any other American. Here are two books I was deeply in the middle of, for the second time through....until a little book review caught my eye which sent me scurrying to my One Click at Amazon so I could order it immediately.It came and I finally caught up on some sleep last night as I barely slept the two nights previous due to reading non stop. It was THAT good, and I felt I had to recommend it to you:
For those of us who grew up with these three....and you definitely know who you are....you will not believe how much fun, and how satisfying this group portrait is. As social history, it is very good as well. So stop what you are doing right now and order this book.Then I'll see you in about three days when you come up for air.
And now with a deep sigh....it is back to Emerson. But I wish I could hang out with Carly, Joan, and Carole a little longer...

squeeee...I wanted to BE Joni. My friend at University even looked like her! I think that's why I made friends with her in the first place
: ) I'll see if I can get the book here.
(When we climbed the Rock of Gibraltar and could see the Atlas mountains I sang "The wind is in from Africa...")
Oh, yummers.... off to Amazon!
Thanks for the Girls Like Us recommendation, three of my favorite people!
Sigh---- I'm too old to have known "the girls" - was a respectable matron in Mexico City during that era, and was reading the "poets of the Revolution" and loving the Mariachi Vargas and Cuco Sanchez (still do) But I'm with you on Emerson!!!
I'm a day late but I'd like more info about mounting your work on foam core. Have a couple of UFOs that I would like to finish that way. I've been watching your progress on the landscape. I love it.
