Concordance: An Evening with Susan Howe

A joy to listen to this lecture recommended by @Lily (Susan Howe is lodestar for me). Will be thinking on all of it (Howe is a brilliant winnower + refractor, and one of the joys of engaging with her work is encountering the same themes again and again, but slant: Emily Dickinson, Wallace Stevens, Jonathan Edwards, Margaret Fuller, Emerson ...) but here is a snippet for remembering, beyond meteors and snow: "The material on my hard drive is beyond my fathoming. Frankly, it's a miss. What I care about most is the books arranged on two large shelves in my workroom, or ones I discover in a library. Their marginal notes/marks, enthusiasms, now seem as calming as night and the stars. They're my best friends. I'm a paper person. They are the real thing."
