Take a look at Jane Eyre. That unfortunate death of a Creole! I’m fighting mad to write *her* story.
But it’s a good book. And so one must be wary and careful.

Me, writing to an older friend in Odessa: how can I help, please let me know I really want help
He writes back: Putins come and go. If you want to help, send us some poems and essays. We are putting together a literary magazine.
And, that is in the middle of war. Imagine.

I dreamed that I went to stay with the sisters Bronte who kept a boarding house called the Bronte Institut.. It was a sober place with linoleum on the stairs. Charlotte met me at the door & said “Emily is lying down”
