In writing and in life, spring always arrives and with it comes new hope and life. Behind the Scenes updates on the land-stalker and the arrival of vintage daffodils, and a gifted Exclusive Writing Lab teaching on what is a perfect essay by Joanne Beard
Just reread Beard’s story. Even though I know it almost by heart, each reading feels fresh and new and it’s terrific writing. We studied braiding in a class I took at Stanford sometime ago and used this story as an example. Is there such a thing as a perfect essay? I think I will always hold this one as something to aspire to. Thanks for the chance to read again.

It's the gift that keeps giving...🎁
I can’t decide if I can be simultaneously intimidated and inspired.
I saw a poem on substack recently that struck me. I'm not sure who posted it so sorry if it was you.
It went:
"Why bother?
Because somewhere out there
there's a person
with a wound
the exact shape
of your words."
I printed it out and stuck it on my door. I think its the perfect answer to the question "who will care?"
Thank you, Tony! and Welcome.
