Description
When Peter Orner's grandfather was on a ship in the South Pacific during World War II, he sent a letter to his wife every day of the war. She seldom responded, leading him to write to her in 1945, "Another day and still no word from you." Orner conjectures that "Maybe we read because we seek that word from someone, from anyone." His collection consists of insightful and intimate observations about books, stories, poems, and life--"notes in the margin." Reading his mother's 1959 edition of Ferlinghetti's A Coney Island of the Mind, he finds a single marginal comment from her: "YES." A brief poem by Robert Hayden about the destruction of a spider's web engenders thoughts about "how quickly something exquisite can become wreckage," but also that "there's no breaking free . . . from the contours of our lives." A story by James Alan McPherson about an old janitor who just wants to talk to someone reminds Orner of that strong desire: "Maybe something we say will stick and be remembered."
