Anne Carson, “O Small Sad Ecstasy of Love”

[text ID: I like being with you all night with closed eyes. / What luck—here you are / coming / along the stars! / I did a road trip / all over my mind and heart / and / there you were / kneeling by the roadside / with your little toolkit / fixing something. // Give me a world, you have taken the world I was.]
—Splayed on your shadow Pounded by your tongue—

—Joyce Mansour, excerpt of "I want to Sleep with You Elbow to Elbow", in When Can I See You Again, translated by Emilie Moorhouse

[L]ettuce ware: those kitschy, leaf-shaped dishes not unlike the iconic chip ’n’ dip wedding gift from season 1 of Mad Men. Thayer originated the design in the late 1960s, crafting her pottery from castings of actual lettuce leaves—a sure riff on foliate dishware popular in the 18th century (examples of which were, of course, also included in Buatta’s collection). Thayer’s signature lettuce ware, coveted by the high-society likes of C. Z. Guest and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, remains emblematic of the blissful froufrou of Old Palm Beach.
