Just discovered you on Substack (via Must Tilt Windmills). I thoroughly enjoyed this - so much like our lives - book cases in most rooms, random, unread books, piles of poetry, a quintet of dogs. Oh - and bees! Thanks so much for sharing so much.
oh my God this is such a fun video and you look exactly the same how!! but what's really weird is O spent all morning reading everything I could about Alice B. and learning details about the cookbook for the first time!! it sounded amazing. i think she would have loved your food
Love this just as much as I loved meeting you in person at Hippocamp years ago. I told you I wanted to move back to upstate NY, Woodstock to be exact, and you said I must move! I’m still in Los Angeles longing for a bite at Bread Alone with a book in hand. More videos please! ❤️ 📚
I pictured you exactly like that. You ALWAYS make me feel like you're talking directly to me, a special talent. Thanks for that. I sort of remember being 60. And enthusiastic. Now I'm happy to wake up in the morning with no toe-tag on my foot. Glorious.
Not certain t wants to, but we do change, growing old, and I love the changes. But enjoyed all my enthusiasm at sixty. Thank uyou. Now I have to think about whether we want out love to transform iitself.
Love you right back, Jax. And thank you. Loved that Kay Ryan poem that asks what does the body want, although I may be remembering that wrong.I gave it as an assignment in my cancer writers’ workshop, what does the body want. And one of us, Roberta Jehu, wrote a beautiful crazy perfect answer. Long gone now.
A great short video on books and writing with @Abigail Thomas —Wonderful insight, wisdom, and humor. "We make sense of life by writing.” “I’ve had a bad memory for as long as I can remember.” “My book of poetry are like a fire place…” Now, I want to read Goodbye to All of That.
Wonderful to see 20-year ago you enthusing about books and surrounded by dogs, Abigail. Absolutely how I pictured you when I read A Three Dog Life last year. Goodbye To All That by Robert Graves is going on my shopping list. I've never read it.

Was thrilled to find you on Substacks.
Have read your books and can relate to so much of what you’ve said and your experiences.
Love YOUR hutzpah, Abby!
Oh I just loved every bit of this. And needed this. All those books! Your voice! Although I did not see the black dot.
That was excellent. I’m glad you let us into your world! It is a pleasure.

Yes! ❤️
LOL! Okay! I’m visiting again in May so that’s a start.
No, t's a date.
Lots of interviews and podcasts, but none like this. Thank you for liking ir, and get your ass to Woodstock.
Such a joy to walk through these books and memories with you! I truly appreciate your sharing this little film.

I thiink if there's a toetag on a foot, there's no waking up. That was very funny. And thank you for such nice things you said. Made me feel good.
What a wonderful video, talking about books you love and about your life. You make me smile. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you. I just found it and was fond of my youthful enthusiasm
My very Goodness!!! WHAT a treat to experience you!!! No wonder people are addicted to this type of communication. It’s magical. And so are you.
Same enthusiasms now, I am betting (?) Love does not wither or die. Transform, sure. Has to do so, even wants to do so. (Yes?)
Not certain t wants to, but we do change, growing old, and I love the changes. But enjoyed all my enthusiasm at sixty. Thank uyou. Now I have to think about whether we want out love to transform iitself.
Thank you very much. I was sixty ! so enthuiastic, it tickled me. So glad you enjoyed it.
What a joy seeing you in your element! Yes to Kay Ryan. Goodbye to All That is on my list.
Just love you. jax lowell

Thank you Abigail. I appreciate you so much!
A wonderful tour. Thanks for sharing this. I put the Graves book on hold at my library.
What a beautiful video, I love it!! Thank you for sharing it and I've added the books to the list of many that I want to explore.
