39. THE CORNER THAT HELD THEM by Sylvia Townsend Warner. A 1948 historical novel set in a small 14th-century Norfolk convent is something you might easily overlook, were it not for the Backlisted episode that convinced me to give it a go. Very glad I did. www.backlisted.fm/episodes/242...

Publishing has a serious class problem.

It is one of the most socially exclusive of all creative industries.

Publishing’s Class Problem

When you’re a child, your social class doesn’t determine how good you are at reading and writing. Yet half of our published writers are from middle-class backgrounds, and only 10 per cent are working ...

Thinking of the 3 women & their community who farmed this place through & beyond WWII, under incredibly trying conditions (including live fire, as their fields were used in training for D-Day & Arnhem) with such a sense of camaraderie & humour. I spoke to a chap who knew them, this week ... 1/2

"We all have forests in our minds. Forests unexplored, unending. Each of us gets lost in the forest, every night, alone.”

—From the introduction to “Vaster Than Empires and More Slow” in The Wind’s Twelve Quarters

The 1976 Berkley Medallion edition of The Word for World is Forest is photographed on a windowsill; outside you can see a vibrantly green tree and a bright blue sky. The very green book cover shows a naked woman mostly hidden behind strange plants and vibes, with some humanoid figures in the foreground. No cover artist is credited; the ISFDB says the artist is Richard Powers.

'Dandelions,' was painted by the Danish artist Bertha Wegmann around 1910. It wasn't an arbitrary choice of a plant to paint: the dandelion was used to promote the women’s liberation movement in Scandinavia because of its capacity for uncontrolled, strong-willed growth.

Pause, breathe, reset.

Whenever you feel overwhelm creeping over you, return to your breathing and come back to the present moment. Even a couple of minutes of mindful breathing can ease the anxiety. May your day be calm. ☺️
