Today's poem is If I Told Him, A Completed Portrait of Picasso by Gertrude Stein. The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we're revisiting some favorites from Major Jackson's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on December 27, 2023. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “Today's poem is a touchstone example of art that altered how we hear words, but also, how we perform language to transform words into elements of our yielding and will.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

(Como, 2025) Con Kate Briggs, autora; y Carlota Melguizo, traductora. ¿Cómo dar voz y convertir en co-protagonista de una novela a quien todavía no es capaz de pronunciar palabra, a quien, por su corta edad, es siempre la encarnación de un misterio? Kate Briggs asume en su escritura el riesgo de enfrentarse a un lugar común, el de la maternidad, y sin embargo su enfoque (atravesado por las ideas de pensadores y escritores de toda índole, desde John Dewey a Donald Winnicott, pasando por E. M Forster y Gertrude Stein) interroga la esencia misma de qué implica continuar existiendo al lado de otra persona.
Gertrude Stein is a name that inspires equal amounts of both awe and fear in prospective readers. An absolute icon in her time, she was an unparalleled tastemaker: collecting work from Picasso and Matisse when they were unknown local painters; mentoring Hemingway and Fitzgerald as bright-eyed, unpublished hopefuls; and hosting ‘talk of the town' salons at her Parisian abode. However, when it comes to her writing, things have always been a bit more complicated.To help me unpack the life, legacy, and ‘afterlife' of this fascinating figure, today I have the pleasure of speaking with biographer, author and journalist Francesca Wade. Her new book, Gertrude Stein: An Afterlife, is set to hit shelves in the upcoming month. It was a great chat, and I hope you enjoy it.
Arnaldo Greco"E anche scrittori"Come ci siamo messi tutti a scrivereUtet Libriwww.utetlibri.it«È noto che solo con il Novecento l'amore romantico è diventato realmente alla portata di tutti. Non che prima non esistesse, ovvio, ma era appannaggio di una cerchia molto ristretta di persone e cioè di chi poteva permetterselo. Oggi anche la letteratura vive qualcosa di simile. Perché così come, a un certo punto, tutti hanno cominciato ad amare, a un certo punto tutti hanno cominciato a poter scrivere, a poter pubblicare, a poter essere letti e a ricevere complimenti per ciò che scrivono.Ormai esistono Scrittori per le chat con gli amici, Scrittori di gruppi WhatsApp e Scrittori di messaggi di buongiorno. Scrittori di Facebook, X o Instagram. Scrittori di recensioni per Amazon, Scrittori di meme, Scrittori di articoli di giornali senza lettori e Scrittori di lettere ai giornali, Scrittori di preghiere per comunità numerose di cui non immaginiamo neppure l'esistenza e Scrittori di catene di Sant'Antonio, Scrittori di messaggi farneticanti e Scrittori di poesie per strada. Esistono anche Scrittori con un libro nel cassetto, ma – per quanto numerosi – sono ormai una retroguardia blasé.»Non si tratta di accusare gli altri di vanità o velleitarismo: sarebbe bene ammettere che tutti noi, ormai, siamo anche scrittori. Anche noi cerchiamo la parola giusta, riscriviamo se la prima versione non ci soddisfa, pensiamo a come catturare l'attenzione dei nostri lettori. Anche noi sfruttiamo le nostre vite e i nostri ricordi come repertori di materiale letterario e vogliamo essere letti, e apprezzati, da più persone possibile.Arnaldo Greco ha identificato per primo questo vero e proprio mutamento antropologico e in questo delizioso e acuminato volumetto inventaria i pregi, i difetti, i tic, le nevrosi, le virtù di tutti noi, anche scrittori. Che sono simili a quelle dei grandi scrittori del passato, ma con una differenza fondamentale: come osservava perfidamente Gertrude Stein, infatti, «i piccoli artisti hanno tutti i dolori e le infelicità dei grandi artisti, solo che non sono grandi artisti».Arnaldo Greco (Caserta, 1979) lavora come autore televisivo e scrive per riviste e giornali.

Våren är i gång. Liksom närbedrägerierna. När Malmö stad ville kolla hur väl de anställda klarade av phishingförsök fick de avbryta testet. Alltför många gick på det. Minnesmärket över terrorattacken på Drottninggatan är faktiskt löjligt. Snuttefiltar är för barn och idén med uppvärmda minnesmärken som publiken kan kladda på är just kladdigt. Det är tidstypiskt att eländet får god kritik. Att vänsterpartisters antisemitism beskrivs som "misstag" är skrattretande. Man vidarebefordrar inte bilder som kunde ha publicerats i SS-tidningen Der Stürmer av misstag. Men den öppna antisemitismen tillåts ofta passera, även på universiteten, där Doku grävt fram vad en del universitetslärare häver ur sig utan konsekvenser. Är amerikanerna på väg att fly sitt land? Nja, men en hel del akademiker och forskare tittar sig ändå omkring. Kommer amerikaner, som annars brukar vara så rädda för okända länder, i och med detta bli mer kosmopolitiska? Vi får väl se. Det brukat vara en viss typ av amerikaner som väljer att bli européer, som vi påmindes om när vi såg Johan Rabaeus som Gertrude Stein på Dramaten. Och så Trump. Suck. Och Albin Sandell, 28, som hittat på krismat. Och sist ett försök till barnbokskanon, som en hyllning till Marianne von Baumgarten, som begravdes i fredags.

Våren har kommit, fontänen är i gång och marmortassan avtäckt. Vad ska vi göra med alla högar av smutsiga underkläder som lydiga svenskar lämnar in? Vi ser fram emot att läsa om "Avvikare i Sverige" och har redan haft stor behållning av att läsa om giljotinen, när Thomas Steinfeld berättar om den i Svenskan. Varför beskrivs det som "kortvariga effekter" när polisen i två veckor kniper åt buset i Södertälje? Det funkade ju. Kontroverserna kring den nya filmen om Snövit visar bara att vi kan resa runt hela jorden, men även om vi förmår ta till oss en annan plats, förmår vi inte ta till oss en annan tid. Snart är alla sagor omöjliga, inte minst Pelle Snusk, som trots allt skrevs av en psykolog. Susanna minns hur hon bodde i samma trappuppgång som Tatiana Angelini Jolin, gift med Einar Jolin, som gjorde Snövits röst i första Disneyfilmen. Hela Landerholmhistorien är ytterligare ett exempel på när hanteringen av något rätt trivialt blir den verkliga skandalen. Lär de sig aldrig något? Nej tydligen inte: Hanna Hellquist blev förvånad över att folk tyckte det var konstigt att hon tiggde pengar till sin tax, trots att hennes bolag drar in över två miljoner om året. Kända skribenter har blivit just kändisar, som spelar på känslor och gör det privata offentligt. Det har blivit normalt att bete sig som ett barn fast man är vuxen. Kul med Johan Rabaeus premiär som Gertrude Stein på Dramaten. Camilla Thulins kostym och Ernst Billgrens scenografi får särskilda omnämnanden. Susanna konstaterar, efter en marknadsundersökning på COW parfymeri, att man inte talar om att man lyfter sig, men att botox är helt OK. Vad är nästa steg i normförskjutningen? Och sedan vår partner i inre exil: Graydon Carter och hans Air Mail. Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/hakeliuspopova. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Nu har vi sett Stenbeck och Jakob Oftebro gör ett bra jobb. Men vad är det med perukerna och kostymerna? Och vart tog Pelle Törnberg vägen? Och så får ni ett par personliga minnen av Jan, som ni nog inte hört förut. Dokumentären om Stenbeck också värd att se om. Och Per Andersson levererar förstås underlag till båda. Vad göra när man går i inre exil? Jo läsa riktiga papperstidskrifter. Johan föreslår fyra: Literary review, den bästa och roligaste litteraturtidskriften på marknaden, The Idler, som bygger på att livet är som bäst när man gör så lite som möjligt,The Modern Drunkard, som slår ett slag för högfunktionell alkoholism, och Slightly Foxed, som skriver om böcker därför att de är bra, oavsett om de kom för tio, 30 eller 150 år sedan. Och apropå det ska Handelsbankens EFN nu starta papperstidning. Tänker de äntligen gå tillbaka till papperspengar också? Hur kommer det sig att miljardärerna alltid går rikare ur sina bolags konkurser? Den jättelika kraschen Northvolt har varit en bra affär för några av de som pumpade upp företaget. Att inte ta konsekvenserna av den risk man tagit påminner om när folk ljuger i rätten, men så verkar också mened vara ett helt accepterat brott numera. Det är hur som helst skillnad på sådana som Johan Staël von Holstein och sådana som Christer Sturmark. Vi har sett A Real Pain och gillar Kieran Culkin, som fick en Oscar, Jesse Eisenberg och hela filmen. Men hur kommer det sig att det ska vara så mycket musik i all film nu. Det är direkt störande. Förut var det bara i hissen man fick stå ut med ljudridåer. Och så sitter vi som på nålar i väntan på att få se Johan Rabaeus som Gertrude Stein på Dramaten: vårens höjdpunkt.

Beau Shipley and Keeby Styles barely survive the WWI battle of the Meuse-Argonne. Beau returns to Charleston in a fatalistic attempt to stop his former girlfriend's wedding to a rival, while Keeby remains in Paris to become a writer.Beau discovers that time, the war, the Spanish Flu, and a dark family secret have left the Charleston he remembered unrecognizable, so he returns to Paris to live as a painter.On separate but intertwining paths, Beau and Keeby are swept up in what Gertrude Stein called the Lost Generation, two aspirants mired in the panoramic parade of ambitious expats seeking fame and fortune in the world of arts and letters.Then, drunken and desperate, Beau one night makes a fateful choice that will change both their lives—forever.22 Rue Montparnasse is a tale about high aspirations and bad decisions, with cameo appearances by the likes of Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas, Tsugahiro Foujita, Ernest Hemingway, Georges Brach, Amedeo Modigliani, Misia Sert, Coco Chanel, and Ezra Pound.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

We struinen over de beroemde Franse begraafplaats Pere Lachaise en begroeten de grote kunstenaars die daar begraven liggen. Natuurlijk de usual suspects zoals Chopin en Jim Morrison, maar hoe klinken Oscar Wilde, Gertrude Stein en Karel Appel in muziek? Halverwege nemen we even pauze met een fonkelnieuwe cd van Alva, waarover gitarist en componist Jurriaan Kurpershoek zelf verteld. Amusez-vous bien à écouter!

Founded in Chicago in 1914, the avant-garde journal the Little Review became a giant in the cause of modernism, publishing literature and art by luminaries such as T.S. Eliot, Djuna Barnes, William Butler Yeats, James Joyce, Ezra Pound, Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst, Gertrude Stein, Jean Toomer, William Carlos Williams, H.D., Amy Lowell, Marcel Duchamp, Joseph Stella, Hans Arp, Mina Loy, Emma Goldman, Wyndham Lewis, Hart Crane, Sherwood Anderson, and more. Perhaps most famously, the magazine published Joyce's Ulysses in serial form, causing a scandal and leading to a censorship trial that changed the course of literature. In this episode, Jacke talks to scholar Holly A. Baggett about her book Making No Compromise: Margaret Anderson, Jane Heap, and the Little Review, which tells the story of the two Midwestern women behind the Little Review, who were themselves iconoclastic rebels, living openly as lesbians and advocating for causes like anarchy, feminism, free love, and of course, groundbreaking literature and art.

Jacopo Veneziani"La grande Parigi"1900-1920. Il periodo d'oro dell'arte modernaFeltrinelli Editorewww.feltrinellieditore.itJacopo Veneziani partecipa a "Mi prendo il mondo" a Parma, il 26 gennaio, alle ore 17:30 - Paganini CongressiSalone Internazionale del LibroAttraverso una serie di indirizzi fondamentali, Jacopo Veneziani racconta i vent'anni che hanno reso Parigi l'epicentro dell'arte mondiale, in una fitta trama di incontri e passaggi di testimone, profonde rivalità e collaborazioni fortuite.Ottobre 1900. Dopo un estenuante viaggio di trenta ore, due giovani artisti arrivano alla Gare d'Orléans, carichi di bagagli e attrezzi del mestiere, ma soprattutto di sogni. Si chiamano Pablo Picasso e Carlos Casagemas. Fuori li aspetta, immensa ed elettrizzante, Parigi, il luogo in cui – dopo la rivoluzione degli Impressionisti e di straordinari scultori come Auguste Rodin – ogni artista vuole essere. È la città degli infiniti cantieri e dell'Esposizione Universale, delle invenzioni mirabolanti e delle folle febbrili. Ovunque rimbomba il brulicare minaccioso ed eccitante della grande metropoli, con le sue luci, i teatri e i locali notturni, ma anche con le sue librerie e le nuove gallerie d'arte. Jacopo Veneziani accompagna passo passo il lettore per le strade della Parigi di quegli anni, e ci racconta la grande capitale nel momento magico e irripetibile in cui divenne, come scriverà Gertrude Stein, “il posto dove bisognava essere per essere liberi” e l'epicentro dell'arte mondiale. La abitano pittori e poeti squattrinati che si incontrano nello sgangherato Bateau-Lavoir a Montmartre, i Fauves trascorrono giornate intere a dipingere sulle rive della Senna, gli eccentrici futuristi sognano di scalzare il Cubismo, e le serate scorrono discutendo di arte africana o declamando versi seduti en terrasse in un caffè del Carrefour Vavin, cuore pulsante di Montparnasse. Mentre il demone della modernità contagia chiunque sia di passaggio in città con una furia creativa che non ha precedenti. Un viaggio che ci conduce dal 1900 al 1920, anni di straordinario fervore culturale e indicibile catastrofe. In compagnia di ineguagliabili artisti come Picasso, Matisse, Modigliani, Soutine, Chagall, Brâncuși, di singolari poeti come Guillaume Apollinaire, Max Jacob e Jean Cocteau, di eroine silenziose come Berthe Weill, Fernande Olivier e Jeanne Hébuterne, protagonisti di un sorprendente racconto corale che ci svela perché, allora, solo Parigi poteva diventare la capitale mondiale dell'arte. Amicizie e rivalità, sodalizi indissolubili e incontri fortuiti, passioni e tradimenti che hanno reso Parigi la capitale mondiale dell'arte.Jacopo Veneziani ha vissuto a Roma e Parigi, studiato Storia dell'arte alla Sorbonne. Con alcuni profili social - Twitter, Youtube, Instagram - parla "di arte, della sua storia e un po' di più".Con Mondadori Electa ha pubblicato nel 2020 il volume #Divulgo, che raccoglie una parte di contenuti e pensieri sull'arte. Nel 2021 è uscito Simmetrie mentre nel 2023 esce per Feltrinelli La grande Parigi. 1900-1920.

En el París de principios del siglo XX, Gertrude Stein fue mucho más que una escritora: fue la anfitriona de los artistas y escritores que definieron la vanguardia. Este episodio explora su vida desde sus años en Estados Unidos hasta su llegada a París, donde su apartamento en la rue de Fleurus se convirtió en el centro de la modernidad artística. Stein, conocida por su estilo literario experimental y su relación de casi 40 años con Alice B. Toklas, desafió las convenciones literarias y sociales de su tiempo. Analizamos cómo su obra, desde Tres vidas hasta Tender Buttons, rompió con las estructuras narrativas tradicionales, y cómo su mecenazgo fue clave en el éxito de figuras como Picasso y Hemingway. Una pionera del modernismo literario y del amor entre mujeres, Stein dejó una huella imborrable en la historia cultural del siglo XX.

Perhaps best known for his novels Motherless Brooklyn (1999), The Fortress of Solitude (2003), and Chronic City (2009)—or, more recently, Brooklyn Crime Novel (2023)—the author, essayist, and cultural critic Jonathan Lethem could be considered the ultimate modern-day Brooklyn bard, even if today he lives in California, where he's a professor of English and creative writing at Pomona College. His most celebrated books take place in Brooklyn, or in the case of Chronic City, on Manhattan's Upper East Side, and across his genre-spanning works of fiction, his narratives capture a profound sense of the rich chaos and wonder to be found in an urban existence. Lethem is also the author of several essay collections, including the newly published Cellophane Bricks: A Life in Visual Culture (ZE Books), which compiles much of his art writing from over the years written in response to—and often in exchange for—artworks by friends, including Gregory Crewdson, Nan Goldin, and Raymond Pettibon.On the episode, Lethem discusses his passion for book dedications; the time he spent with James Brown and Bob Dylan, respectively, when profiling them for Rolling Stone in the mid-aughts; how his work is, in part, a way of dealing with and healing from his mother's death in 1978, at age 36; and why he views his writing as “fundamentally commemorative.”Special thanks to our Season 10 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Jonathan Lethem[5:35] Cellophane Bricks[5:35] High School of Music and Art[5:35] Motherless Brooklyn[5:35] The Fortress of Solitude[5:35] The Disappointment Artist[5:35] Maureen Linker[7:15] Carmen Fariña[8:26] Julia Jacquette[8:26] Rosalyn Drexler[9:08] The Great Gatsby[9:08] Brooklyn Crime Novel[10:59] Lynn Nottage[13:08] Bennington College[13:08] Bret Easton Ellis[13:08] Donna Tartt[23:41] The Collapsing Frontier[23:41] Italo Calvino[23:41] Cold War[23:41] Red Scare[23:41] J.

Avec Margot Gallimard, Anne F. Garréta, Laure Murat, Suzette Robichon & Céline Sciamma En 1915, Adrienne Monnier fonde une librairie-bibliothèque de prêts, la Maison des Amis des Livres, au 7, rue de l'Odéon. Quelques années plus tard, Sylvia Beach ouvre en face, au n°12, Shakespeare and Company, son équivalent anglo-saxon. L'Odéonie est née. Entre les deux librairies, se construit dans l'entre-deux guerres un espace pour la pensée et le commerce de l'esprit, l'échange des idées et la défense de la littérature contemporaine, où se croisent James Joyce, André Gide, Valery Larbaud, André Breton, Louis Aragon, Colette, Gertrude Stein, Violette Leduc, Walter Benjamin, Gisèle Freund, Ernest Hemingway et bien d'autres. L'Ulysse de Joyce, partout rejeté par la censure, y verra le jour, en anglais, puis en français. Des rencontres, des publications, des lectures publiques, des expositions animent pendant vingt ans cet espace où se réinvente la vie intellectuelle autant que se développe, souterraine, une culture féministe et lesbienne. À travers un montage de textes, « L'Odéonie ou la vie de l'esprit » rend hommage à un couple de libraires à l'énergie et l'indépendance hors normes, modèles de résistance au conformisme et source d'inspiration à laquelle notre époque gagnerait de s'abreuver. À lire – Laure Murat, Passage de l'Odéon. Sylvia Beach, Adrienne Monnier et la vie littéraire à Paris dans l'entre-deux-guerres, coll. “L'imaginaire”, Gallimard, 2024.

In this episode I'm joined by Dalkey Archive's editorial director, Chad W. Post. We discuss the republication of the late Marguerite Young's cult-classic work of fiction, Miss MacIntosh, My Darling (Dalkey Archive Press, 2024). A colossal novel of over 1,000 pages, a kaleidoscopic cast of characters, permanent opium-induced hallucinations, a sprawling sense of scope, and a truly distinct and lyrical prose style--it's a doozy. I haven't finished yet myself, having stopped and restarted multiple times over the years, but that's the beauty of it; it's challenging, wandering, dense, at times utterly absurd, but always rewarding. Chad painstakingly walks us through the book's editorial legacy, and the gargantuan task of excavating this text and introducing it to new generations. Chad W.

In this episode I'm joined by Dalkey Archive's editorial director, Chad W. Post. We discuss the republication of the late Marguerite Young's cult-classic work of fiction, Miss MacIntosh, My Darling (Dalkey Archive Press, 2024). A colossal novel of over 1,000 pages, a kaleidoscopic cast of characters, permanent opium-induced hallucinations, a sprawling sense of scope, and a truly distinct and lyrical prose style--it's a doozy. I haven't finished yet myself, having stopped and restarted multiple times over the years, but that's the beauty of it; it's challenging, wandering, dense, at times utterly absurd, but always rewarding. Chad painstakingly walks us through the book's editorial legacy, and the gargantuan task of excavating this text and introducing it to new generations. Chad W.

Reddy's book based on his BWLS lectures, The Unsignificant: Three Talks on Poetry and Pictures, is forthcoming from Wave Books, and is available here.

Subscriber-only episodeSend us a Text Message.Amy discusses the good and bad of audiobook narration in this week's bonus episode, then dives into the origins of the commercial audiobook industry. Founded in 1952, Caedmon Records was the brainchild of two young women who achieved their smash debut success by convincing Dylan Thomas to record himself reading some of his most popular work, including “A Child's Christmas in Wales.” The recording company went on to record LPs of work by a wide array of literary stars, including Gertrude Stein, Sylvia Plath, Ernest Hemingway, T.S. Eliot and J.R.R. Tolkien, thus paving the way for today's burgeoning audiobook market.For episodes and show notes, visit: LostLadiesofLit.comDiscuss episodes on our Facebook Forum.

The late ballplayer Billy Bean talked about his intentions when he was first named Major League Baseball's gay Ambassador for Inclusion in 2014 (interviewed by Chrisanne Eastwood and Wenzel Jones), and his success is proven by the response to last week's homophobic incident involving Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran. Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas are known for being literary mavens, and for Toklas' mastery of French cooking. In this rare Pacifica Radio Archives selection from a Verve record, Ms. Toklas herself reads the most popular recipe from The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook, and tells the story behind its publication. And in NewsWrap: the U.S. Supreme Court denies an emergency request from the Department of Justice to enforce its queer-inclusive interpretation of “Title IX” bias protections, Pope Francis joins with LGBTQ activists from Uganda and Ghana in condemning anti-queer legislation in both nations, Team LGBTQ would have finished in 7th among nations for the most medals at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, gay British Olympic diver Tom Daley is retires after winning another Silver medal, Kim Coco Iwamoto will be the first out transgender candidate to win election to state office in Hawai'i, gay Chilean flamingoes Curtis and Arthur give birth to their new chick at South West England's Paignton Zoo in Devon, and more international LGBTQ news reported this week by Marcos Najera and Sarah Montague (produced by Brian DeShazor with technical assistance by Daniel Huecias).

Tonight, we'll read “The Good Anna”, a short story written by Gertrude Stein as part of her first published book, titled “Three Lives” published in 1909. We first read this story back in 2020. Stein was an American novelist, poet, playwright, and art collector. Born in the United States, she moved to Paris as an adult and stayed there the rest of her life. She hosted a Paris salon, where the leading figures of modernism in literature and art, such as Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Henri Matisse would meet. Two quotes from Stein's works have become widely known: "Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose," and "there is no there there” The Good Anna is set in the fictional city of Bridgepoint, which is modeled after Baltimore, MD where Stein lived at one time. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

Margaret Wise Brown (May 23, 1910 – November 13, 1952) was an American writer of children's books, including Goodnight Moon (1947) and The Runaway Bunny (1942), both illustrated by Clement Hurd. She has been called "the laureate of the nursery" for her achievements.Brown was born in the Brooklyn borough of New York City, the middle child of three children of Maude Margaret and Robert Bruce Brown. She was the granddaughter of politician Benjamin Gratz Brown. Her parents had an unhappy marriage. She was initially raised in Brooklyn's Greenpoint neighborhood, and later attended Chateau Brilliantmont boarding school in Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1923, while her parents were living in India and Canterbury, Connecticut.In 1925, Brown attended The Kew-Forest School. She began attending Dana Hall School in Wellesley, Massachusetts, in 1926, where she did well in athletics. After graduation in 1928, Brown went on to Hollins College in Roanoke, Virginia.Brown was an avid, lifelong beagler and was noted for her ability to keep pace, on foot, with the hounds.Following her graduation with a B.A. in English from Hollins in 1932, Brown worked as a teacher and also studied art. While working at the Bank Street Experimental School in New York City she started writing books for children. Bank Street promoted a new approach to children's education and literature, emphasizing the real world and the "here and now". This philosophy influenced Brown's work; she was also inspired by the poet Gertrude Stein, whose literary style influenced Brown's own writing.Brown's first published children's book was When the Wind Blew, published in 1937 by Harper & Brothers. Impressed by Brown's "here and now" style, W. R. Scott hired her as his first editor in 1938. Through Scott, she published the Noisy Book series among others. As editor at Scott, one of Brown's first projects was to recruit contemporary authors to write children's books for the company. Ernest Hemingway and John Steinbeck neglected to respond, but Brown's hero, Gertrude Stein, accepted the offer. Stein's book The World is Round was illustrated by Clement Hurd, who had previously teamed with Brown on W. R. Scott's Bumble Bugs and Elephants, considered "perhaps the first modern board book for babies". Brown and Hurd later teamed on the children's book classics The Runaway Bunny and Goodnight Moon, published by Harper. In addition to publishing a number of Brown's books, under her editorship, W. R. Scott published Edith Thacher Hurd's first book, Hurry Hurry, and Esphyr Slobodkina's classic Caps for Sale.-bio via Wikipedia Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

Mary takes a deep dive into the profound impact of gratitude on our daily existence. Joel Zuckerman, returning for a second appearance on the podcast, explores the nuances of being thankful, not just as a fleeting emotion but as a consistent and deliberate practice that permeates every facet of life. Mary engages Joel in a discussion that orbits around the hows and whys of gratitude, underpinning the narrative with her own daily meditation experiences, where messages of gratitude often surface unprompted. Joel uncovers the concept of 'proactive gratitude,' where he explains the importance of not just feeling thankful but also expressing this gratitude towards others. He shares personal anecdotes and practical tips, like the 'count your blessings' nightly routine, illustrating how gratitude can serve as a tool for finding peace and improving sleep. Mary reflects on her practice of direct gratitude, shedding light on the ripple effects of such actions on others. About Joel: Joel Zuckerman, a man of many talents and diverse professional experiences, brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to the dialogue on crafting a meaningful life. With a background that spans working on Wall Street, running his own business, to becoming an acclaimed golf writer for the Carolina Morning News, his career trajectory is as impressive as it is varied. Joel has authored numerous golf books, contributed to over 120 different magazines, and has spoken extensively about golf at various events. Now, turning his attention towards gratitude, he channels his prowess into writing, speaking, and teaching about the transformative power of gratitude, as seen through his website Gratitude Tiger, his book "Grateful", and his "Mostly Grateful" podcast. Gratitude as a daily practice: Joel reveals the physiological benefits of gratitude and his evening ritual, 'count your blessings', which aids in better sleep and calms the nervous system. Expression of gratitude: Joel emphasizes the importance of proactive gratitude – actively thanking and appreciating others, rather than simply feeling grateful internally. The transformative effect: Sharing gratitude can profoundly impact both the giver and the receiver, fostering a sense of peace and connection. Gratitude through letters: Joel shares how his practice of writing letters of gratitude has enriched his life and recommends that even brief, sincere expressions can be deeply meaningful. Gratitude in adversity: Joel admits that despite personal faults and difficulties, gratitude remains a cornerstone in his efforts to live a meaningful life. Notable Quotes: "Silent gratitude isn't much good for anybody." - Gertrude Stein, as quoted by Joel Zuckerman to emphasize the need for expressing gratitude. "By the author Gertrude Stein. And she said, silent gratitude isn't much good for anybody, which I love, because we're all grateful." – Joel Zuckerman amplifying the need to communicate gratitude. "We're grateful that today did not get jolted off." – Mary Crafts highlighting the power of acknowledging small daily blessings. "You can extend gratitude... in six words or six sentences. I do it... in six or seven paragraphs." – Joel Zuckerman on the flexibility of gratitude expression. "Gratitude is one manifestation of who I am." – Joel Zuckerman discussing the multifaceted nature of his personality and the place of gratitude within it.

Quand on s'y trouve, la rue Campagne-Première est une courte rue normale de Paris, surtout sous la pluie, pourtant c'est une des rues les plus importantes du quartier de Montparnasse, car c'est dans cette rue qu'ont vécu nombre d'artistes. C'était aussi la rue du restaurant Chez Rosalie dont nous avons parlé mercredi. Si vous regardez un plan de Paris et que vous regardez le trajet que nous avons fait Anne-Laure et moi pour ensuite nous rendre rue de Fleurus, devant chez Gertrude Stein, vous verrez que les rues du quartier évoquent une sorte de zig-zag permanent.
