Amy Thomas is an editor.
She is the editor of my latest books.
I shared my longing for the Ancient Alexandrian Library and Sappho’s burned poems with her.
During that Zoom meeting, she pulled a book from the shelf and read to me from Anne Carson’s edition of Sappho’s fragments.
Amy wrote about Lacuna and linked it to longing.
Since then, I have filled my lacunas by strolling in the valley near home with Ann Carson readings plugged into my ears.
I believe these three women would enjoy meeting and sharing impressions of leaves, wind, and water ponds in the metaphorical process of reviving the ancient Alexandrian Library into pixels.
I would gladly serve them tea.
