Indie folk singer Joanna Newsom is a truly unique individual, and not just because she is one of the few musicians to regularly feature harp music (she plays it).
The novel I am pulling a quote from this week is Villette by Charlotte Brontë. Villette often gets overlooked in favor of Brontë’s more famous work, Jane Eyre, but Villette is just as beautifully written.
I guess I am on a bit of a rain-themed kick at the moment, because the poem for this week is “As One Listens to the Rain” by Octavio Paz.
Sting has previously been a part of Thursday Tunes due to his work as part of The Police, but this time he is here for his solo work.
The novel that I am pulling a quote from this week is Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. It is a beast of a novel; understandably some may be put off by the novel’s size (close to 1500 pages in the version that I have).
To start the month off right, this week’s poem is “April Rain Song” by Langston Hughes.
This week’s choice for cover exploration is Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale of terror, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (or just Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde , as it is often shortened to).
The novel I am pulling a quote from this week is Affinity by Sarah Waters. I was introduced to this novel in a Late British Literature course I took my freshman year of college, and have been a devotee of Sarah Waters ever since.
The poem of the week is “A Night-Piece” by William Wordsworth.
I pulled this week’s quote from the novel Alias Grace by the incomparable Margaret Atwood.
