Thanks, David. We are feeling the destructive force of water. Things are grim.

Perhaps others will add some winter tales here, to keep me cool and dreaming! The last paragraph of the Simic piece made me cry - but I stopped myself. No more water.

I find the Simic piece interesting alongside the review of Wilbur's book on another thread. Does Wilbur live and write in a cold place? Do writers write from a cold place, no matter what climate zone they live in?

I love thinking about, and being in, winter.
