I too have read and reread Louise Penny’s books, making notes and researching the poetry she living weaves into her stories. I love Ruth...I think I have an inner Ruth who inspires me to write...wish I had an inner Clara and could paint...but this essay was wonderfully insightful. Thank you!!
Thanks and glad you enjoyed the piece. Keep nursing that inner Ruth. I agree, I wish i could find a way to reconnect with my inner Clara, who's been quiet for decades. All best.
I've long Ruth Zardo's poetry and am so glad to learn the sources of it, including the author herself. I'm intrigued that Penny says she writes "surrounded by poetry books and cookbooks." I wonder which cookbooks inspire her frequent references to food and what she cooks herself. Maybe we'll read about this in a future edition of this delicious newsletter.
