1. thank you for introducing me to poetry, school ruined it for me, you are bringing us together, much like the ewe and the lamb, i am the subborn one.
2. the message from your son reminded me of a telegram, no wasted words
3. thank you for allowing me to live vicariously as a sheep farmer, without the heart break and hard work
Thanks for another beautiful piece Maggie. I loved this line, "...I measure the impossible distance from their childhood bedrooms to their present selves". And thanks for introducing me to May Sarton!
I have to say, I did a few pulses while I read that Nina Stibbe piece. Turns out I’m not too bad, I’ll keep them going. Prolapse happens to men too. I attended a specialised physio some years back and they had male patients. Gravity causes some of it.

Wonderful poem by May Sarton. She was a treasure.
Thank you for your beautiful writing. It moves me deeply. I agree with your parenting style, and your farming practices.
Ah May Sarton.

And I loved the interview with Charlotte Wood. Excellent, thank you. Michael is terrific too.
And the Yiyun Li essay 💖
