I have this book on order. However, I was initially disappointed not to be able to find it on Audible or Libro.fm. (And yes, I know I want to get off Audible. I’m just using up some credits!). But listening to it on SoundCloud was great. Just started it.

“Can you recommend a book for us to read“, Anne Carson, “Homer, I always say, Homer“. I love her! And not only is she brilliant, she’s Canadian — yay!! 🇨🇦 She also confesses that she hasn’t read any new books published this year because she only reads books published before 500 BC 😂

We live in a a world where this revolutionary anthem from 1978 speaks directly to all of us. Just LISTEN to the lyrics. Power in the Darkness. Up the rev! ✊ @tomrobinson “Hope is a solemn duty which we owe alike to ourselves and the world.” PB Shelley. Thank you Tom!
