October 27, 1960: “I've been having a lovely birthday week to console me for catapulting so swiftly towards thirty”—not to mention that line in “Tulips” about the “thirty-year-old cargo boat / Stubbornly hanging on to my name and address.”

Sylvia Plath would have been 93 today. Meryl Streep reads her achingly beautiful "Morning Song":

A paean and requiem for new parenthood — the love, the strangeness, the surreal and magnetic disorientation of it.

I wrote my chapters of this collaborative horror novel on my iPhone mostly during the hours that Sylvia Plath referred to as blue (4-8 am). We had 30 days. 3 writers who had never spoken prior to this project, living in 3 different time zones.

Love set you going like a fat gold watch. The midwife slapped your footsoles, and your bald cry Took its place among the elements. —Sylvia Plath, born #OTD in 1932 https://t.co/mN1nWfQgNq

By the way, I'm not giving up hope for you at all, I have to tell you that. You are easily distressed but also easily happy, remember that when in despair. Franz Kafka, 1914.

Shirley Jackson’s short story from 1948, which inspired the most mail The New Yorker had ever received in response to a work of fiction—and caused some readers to cancel their subscriptions.

Fiction, from 1948: “The people had done it so many times that they only half listened to the directions; most of them were quiet, wetting their lips, not looking around.”

Accompanied a friend to Target and saw the paperback of @StephenKing’s You Like It Darker at the checkout. Then I read the top quote. My words on the cover of a King book. Kid me had a moment, y’all. Hah.
