![]() I keep a small stack of books on my desk. During times when I’ve not had a writing table, the pile sat on the nightstand beside my bed. It’s important to me these books stay close. They are my writers Bible, the guides to my personal enlightenment. I need them on hand. This small stack has become my essential, invaluable Crew. My Swifty Squad. Some came to me via friends. One from my Mother. Another I found on my own at a used book sale. Some I’d never heard of, but all broke my heart at a time when my heart was already broken. Does that make sense? A new breaking? The years I squandered, searching for love, for meaning, for content were wrapped in a little burrito of good words and the wisdom of those who passed my way before. So when people ask (because they always do when they find out you’re a writer) what books I’m reading, what books I love… I refer to this little stack of loveliness.
