No, I hadn't read her work before, but it is striking. I think I'll give it a look. It's how I often get reading something - some words catch my eye & I want to know more. There's a song Sinead O'Connor does called Raglan Road. It's beautifully haunting, so I searched for the author of the lyrics, read up on him, & now want to get some of his poetry to see if his other stuff matches Raglan Road.
I have the crappiest memory for what I hear. By the time you're telling me the third in a list of things, I've forgotten the first two. But if I read it, it lasts much longer, & if I write it down, it's with me almost forever. BUT I have to be interested, otherwise in & out.
I am really good at tracking down info. Sort of an obsession with me. I'm an information freak - I can't stand not knowing something. Just this afternoon, I got thinking about why there's so many different kinds of nails. So what did I do? Had to look up on the net the reason, & read about the different sorts & what they're used for. I'll probably never need to use the knowledge but I wanted to know.
