277is only justified by the scenery,<br>a page the better replacement for the bed,<br>or indeed the act outdone by an act<br>on the stage, and with all the world looking.<br>What a relief, thousands instead of two.</p> 278 279 280 281<p class="has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Time-River-Columbine-Invention-Fire/dp/B0FPR4TJXN/ref=sr_1_1?crid=DJUMIK806CQN&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.T0XCzMPLecQUGZq5YH9UrCHqVs8YVZKKeI-cmFSUV7j2JD6VZK0Ymu4Ic8DQpWXvN6u-MYbUd7awqEqD64ODJ9QFvLOvfNylfQnvLMnGLMsrkn_neALUniSh7pUd0aliZv3QlaYed8UmwGM5J9k48nUI4MpfB2V19KsZEIURUYYh21Q02PvkiLxLK_mGC3HHgAsy6FdskRGdMzMGesJ9g7nAg61zFaV-IdBDWgywBgE.1kxvtp3zgsgBdghOImAuDeYdQZaB61XcZsy4CenACQE&dib_tag=se&keywords=s4n+books&qid=1786712979&sprefix=s4n+books%2Caps%2C172&sr=8-1"><strong>Buy </strong></a><em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Time-River-Columbine-Invention-Fire/dp/B0FPR4TJXN/ref=sr_1_1?crid=DJUMIK806CQN&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.T0XCzMPLecQUGZq5YH9UrCHqVs8YVZKKeI-cmFSUV7j2JD6VZK0Ymu4Ic8DQpWXvN6u-MYbUd7awqEqD64ODJ9QFvLOvfNylfQnvLMnGLMsrkn_neALUniSh7pUd0aliZv3QlaYed8UmwGM5J9k48nUI4MpfB2V19KsZEIURUYYh21Q02PvkiLxLK_mGC3HHgAsy6FdskRGdMzMGesJ9g7nAg61zFaV-IdBDWgywBgE.1kxvtp3zgsgBdghOImAuDeYdQZaB61XcZsy4CenACQE&dib_tag=se&keywords=s4n+books&qid=1786712979&sprefix=s4n+books%2Caps%2C172&sr=8-1"><strong>Time and the River</strong></a></em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Time-River-Columbine-Invention-Fire/dp/B0FPR4TJXN/ref=sr_1_1?crid=DJUMIK806CQN&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.T0XCzMPLecQUGZq5YH9UrCHqVs8YVZKKeI-cmFSUV7j2JD6VZK0Ymu4Ic8DQpWXvN6u-MYbUd7awqEqD64ODJ9QFvLOvfNylfQnvLMnGLMsrkn_neALUniSh7pUd0aliZv3QlaYed8UmwGM5J9k48nUI4MpfB2V19KsZEIURUYYh21Q02PvkiLxLK_mGC3HHgAsy6FdskRGdMzMGesJ9g7nAg61zFaV-IdBDWgywBgE.1kxvtp3zgsgBdghOImAuDeYdQZaB61XcZsy4CenACQE&dib_tag=se&keywords=s4n+books&qid=1786712979&sprefix=s4n+books%2Caps%2C172&sr=8-1"><strong> here</strong></a> or <em><strong><a href="https://wordandsilence.com/time-the-river/">Read more about the book</a></strong></em> or listen to the entire poem here:</p> 282 283 284 285<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> 286<iframe title="Spotify Embed: Shakespeare: The Life & Times (from the archive)" style="border-radius: 12px" width="100%" height="152" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" loading="lazy" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/episode/7ieSGHmHmEJKt6dXbySM61?si=27869fa847d24ec2&utm_source=oembed"></iframe> 287</div></figure> 288 289 290 291<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p> 292 293 294 295<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="557" height="887" data-attachment-id="17719" data-permalink="https://wordandsilence.com/recent-work/trcover/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/wordandsilence.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/trcover.jpg?fit=557%2C887&ssl=1" data-orig-size="557,887" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-title="trcover" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/wordandsilence.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/trcover.jpg?fit=557%2C887&ssl=1" src="https://i0.wp.com/wordandsilence.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/trcover.jpg?resize=557%2C887&ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-17719"/></figure> 296<div class="sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled"><div class="robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing"><h3 class="sd-title">Share this:</h3><div class="sd-content"><ul><li class="share-email"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" 297 data-shared="sharing-email-19059" 298 class="share-email sd-button share-icon no-text" 299 href="mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Shakespeare%20thinks%20about%20his%20wife%20and%20his%20plays%20%28poem%29&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwordandsilence.com%2F2026%2F09%2F09%2Fshakespeare-thinks-about-his-wife-and-his-plays-poem%2F&share=email" 300 target="_blank" 301 aria-labelledby="sharing-email-19059" 302 data-email-share-error-title="Do you have email set up?" data-email-sh

You can also order any of my books: Time and the River: From Columbine to the Invention of Fire, Notes from the Grid, To the House of the Sun, The Lonely Young & the Lonely Old, and Bone Antler Stone. I've also edited a handful of books in the S4N Pocket Poems series. I also have a YouTube channel where I share poems and excerpts from these books, mostly as YouTube shorts.Email me at [email protected]. </div> 574 575 <div class="jetpack-podcast-player__audio-player"> 576 <div class="jetpack-podcast-player--audio-player-loading"></div> 577 </div> 578</div> 579 <ol class="jetpack-podcast-player__tracks"> 580 581<li 582 class="jetpack-podcast-player__track is-active has-primary has-contrast-color" 583 style="" 584> 585 <a 586 class="jetpack-podcast-player__track-link jetpack-podcast-player__link" 587 href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/humanvoiceswakeus/episodes/242---Anthology-poems-on-being-a-parent-e3phd5l" 588 role="button" 589 aria-current="track" > 590 <span class="jetpack-podcast-player__track-status-icon"></span> 591 <span class="jetpack-podcast-player__track-title">#242 -

(The edition of his diaries that I read has since been replaced by this one). When you approach these passages, as I do here, with almost no comment or connecting links to his life or his work, let alone to the library of Kafka scholarship that has developed in the last century, he suddenly appears very familiar. He sounds like you, or somebody you know, struggling by themselves with whatever it is. We all know somebody who, Ahab-like, has made remarks like these: \u201cWhat will be my fate as a writer is very simple. My talent for portraying my dreamlike inner life has thrust all other matters into the background; my life has dwindled dreadfully, nor will it cease to dwindle. Nothing else will ever satisfy me.\u201dYou can find the text for all the excerpts I read from here.

In 1949 she moved to New Mexico permanently and achieved the kind of bare-bones life, seclusion from the wider world, and level of intimacy with the natural world she had long sought. The books I read from are Laurie Lisle's biography, Portrait of an Artist, and Georgia O'Keeffe, a large book of reproductions and commentary by O'Keeffe herself.The paintings of hers that O'Keeffe mentions in the episode are: The Grey Hills (1942) (the painting called Grey Hills 2, which she describes as looking like miles of elephants, is not online); Black Place III (1944), Patio with Black Door (1955), Road Past the View I (1964), and Black Rock with Blue III (1970).The best way to support the podcast is by leaving a review on Apple or Spotify, sharing it with others, or sending me a note on what you think.

You can find all the episodes we\u2019ve done at Apple or Spotify where we talk about all kinds of things, but mostly creativity and how to be decent in the weird world of 2026. Today, I wanted to share one of those episodes with you, where Tom and I talk about baseball.It begins with Tom dealing with a bout of insomnia by listening to a podcast of fake AM baseball broadcasts, Northwoods Baseball Sleep Radio; it ends up with the two of us talking about what baseball has meant to us and its connections to creativity and even religion, mysticism, and history.I end the episode by reading from Mac Davis\u2019s Baseball\u2019s Unforgettables, a book published in 1966 that first belonged to my dad and much later became hugely important in my childhood. I also mention the HBO documentary When it Was a Game, which everybody should check out. If anyone is wondering how I ended up obsessed with history, religion, and meaning, Davis's book and the documentary are good places to start. Both showed me, at a young age, how history so easily becomes folklore and myth and how, in the best ways, individual and shared memory can become layered in the best kind of sentimentality. Thanks to Tom for letting me repost the entire episode here. I hope listeners to Human Voices Wake Us will go check out the other episodes Tom and I have done.The best way to support the podcast is by leaving a review on Apple or Spotify, sharing it with others, or sending me a note on what you think.

If anyone is wondering how I ended up obsessed with history, religion, and meaning, Davis's book and the documentary are good places to start. Both showed me, at a young age, how history so easily becomes folklore and myth and how, in the best ways, individual and shared memory can become layered in the best kind of sentimentality. \u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThanks to Tom for letting me repost the entire episode here. I hope listeners to Human Voices Wake Us will go check out the other episodes Tom and I have done.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe best way to support the podcast is by leaving a review on Apple or Spotify, sharing it with others, or sending me a note on what you think.
