I agree! Sometimes hear your voice when I write. It’s a gift. Even though you’re typically yelling at me when I think about it 😂

Anaphora, Epistrophe, Diacope, Parataxis, and Pleonasm! I didn't realize that cherished writing conventions so closely resembled both diseases and Greek gods by name. Any of those could be all 3 at first glance. Now I'm headed for your podcast to learn the difference.

Caroline Knapp's book goes back quite a while, as I recall that she died about twenty years ago. I found her writing to be brave and beautiful. She wrote a wonderful book about her relationship with her dog and rowing figured prominently in her writing. What a terrible loss at an early age of a great talent.

Brave and beautiful indeed, Drake! I’m reading the one about dogs, Pack Of Two, right now and it’s wonderful. So sad that she died, and at such a young age.
