POETIC TRAVELS,CLASSIC AMERICAN-STYLE
“I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery-air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, “This is what it is to be happy.”-Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
It’s time to hit the road again. This week, we are traveling with an extra dose of hearty American vigor: mid-century style. Think laid-back glam, poetic, unforced. Casual yet calculated.
Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s go!
Writing and reading whilst lounging in the front passenger seat is obligatory, and so is saving room for any possible bookish road purchases:
Roam Far & Roam Free Market Tote Bag by Belles & Ghosts. $35.00+.
The Inventor’s Pocket Notebook by Earmark. $7.00.
Anne Sexton A Self-Portrait in Letters at Pistil Books. $14.95.
