As some of you know, my mom is opening a business…and it’s a family affair. Austen & Company is many parts that we hope will make a cohesive, if quirky, whole: Tea and tea accessories, coffee, desserts, books, art, events, curiosities, import snacks, and cocktails. Whew, that’s a lot!
We’re not open yet, but, this being 2020, Austen & Company is already on social media. Both our Instagram and Facebook pages are full of sneak peeks. We’re doing an Instagram series highlighting some of the books we’ll be selling in-store. Even if you’re not local, hey, who doesn’t like pretty pics of books?

I do, too. I also own a copy of the book (the one in the pic belongs to the store, of course). I’ve read it a few times. It’s excellent.

I recently found a copy of her collected works at my favorite thrift store.
Pretty much devoured it cover to cover.
I had always liked her work but reading her like that was a deepening experience. She had such a gift of using image to convey pathos. For me, she hits the perfect tone between Modern/Post-Modern awareness and Nineteenth century metrical aesthetic.
Very inspirational.
