![]() ![]() It’s actually a collection of loosely structured remembrances, all told in the most enthusiastic style. ![]() To call the book an autobiography is a bit of a stretch of the genre. She actually went on more about how she cured a friend of the hiccups than she talked about an event that changed the course of her life! Interestingly, and tellingly, she says very little about her dismissal, and she never mentions Mirabella, a woman which whom she worked closely for ten years, by name. ![]() After reading the memoir of Grace Mirabella, I decided I must get another perspective on the story of how the two women worked together at Vogue, and of the fallout after Vreeland’s firing in 1971. With the release of a new documentary and book about her life, Diana Vreeland, The Eye Has to Travel, much has been written about the longtime editor of first Harper’s Bazaar, and then Vogue. As if anyone could come close to being Ms. I adore this book…it’s fun, fun, fun! Yes, it’s HUGE!īut then I realized I could never keep up that kind of energy through 500 words or so, and I decided to just be myself.

The price is right, but the arrangement is odd - Leon, her new roommate, works nights as an oncology nurse and spends weekends away. Those were pretty big clues.) Desperate, heartbroken and broke, Tiffy answers an ad for a flatmate. Tiffy Moore has broken up with her boyfriend again, but this time it looks like it’s going to stick. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Considered as a complete body of work, these poems shed light on Louise Glück's recent fascination with death and silence as transitory states: while both are the conclusion of one type of life, noise, or art, they are perhaps also the gateways into new forms of life or creativity. ![]() In total, the collection is comprised of 24 poems, and it is primarily comprised of three types of poems: prose poems which seek to teach a variety of personal and spiritual lessons standard poems, often long or in numbered sections, which reflect either indistinct personae's lived experiences or autobiographical concerns about death and old age and standard poems, written in a lengthy and elliptical style, that follow the life story of a fictional English painter whose parents died in his youth.This Note addresses a representative sample of 15 poems at length, but because many of the poems' themes connect, repeat, and intersect in important ways, every poem in the collection will be addressed. This ClassicNote focuses on the poems contained in Louise Glück's collection Faithful and Virtuous Night (2014). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Jessica Sherman was the recipient of the Rosalie Joseph Humanitarian Award, which Simone Bär received a posthumous European Capelier-Shaw Award, with Bär’s casting partner Alexandra Montag accepting the award on her behalf.
