LOVE!
Ondaatje just gave a talk at a small fundraising party here in TO and he says that his books always start with moments---a girl, a horse, a farm; a boy walking through a field eating rhubarb; a nurse and a patient and sometimes that moment doesn't happen until the middle of the book. He also said that he, too, misses his characters. oh- and that prose allows him to fill in the story more than poetry does ( although, gosh, his prose is so lyrical!)

i remember hearing rita mae brown read years ago at uvm -- i'd read her book rubyfruit jungle that past summer -- ira allen chapel was packed and one of the things she said that i always remember is "if you are a writer, work with your hands because it frees your mind."

Yes! Just finished Anne Lamott--and starting Twyla Tharp. Wonderful when books can be both grounding and inspirational.
