As always Linda ~ I love and appreciate your writings, and outlook on things! My Judy was always a reader herself ~ Until her optic neuritis forced her to give up this passion! I always liked biographies ~ As people and their stories have always interested me🌹🌅❣️
Rimbaud fingerprint—Mind blown! Thanks for turning me on to Patti’s Rimbaud Month.
We recently returned from a writing workshop in Paris, led by Phil Cousineau. It was a small workshop, only five people. We met from 9:00 to noon every day at the Café Contrescarpe in the Fifth Arrondissement, then followed Phil on walking tours to many of the very clubs and restaurants frequented (and cobblestones trod upon) by the giants of the art, philosophy, film, and literary worlds. Victor Hugo, Hemingway, Rimbaud, Ezra Pound, Goddard, Picasso, Camus, Proust, Rodin, Rilke, Sartre, James Fenimore Cooper, Camille Courot, Styron, Cartier-Bresson, Becket, Cocteau, Bernhart, Chagall, Matisse, all of the Impressionists, and even Dante, for crissake. He was kicked out of Italy and went to Paris, where he set up hay bales on the bank of the Seine, across from Notre Dame, and advertised that anyone could come and sit with him while he taught. That was the beginning of the University of Paris!
