“There was something I didn’t really like about that end of what I was doing, blah blah blah.” “I also felt I was doing it not to be a ‘pop star,'” as Richards says of why he took up heroin. Always, it seemed, blah blah blah quotes popped up in the notices. At least for this reader there was something queer about the raves: the more a reviewer quoted, the less interesting the book seemed to be. The autobiography of Keith Richards-founding guitarist of the Rolling Stones, through the late 1960s and the 1970s at once a notorious and celebrated heroin addict and one of the most dynamic and least recognized songwriters of his time, today a long-married, deeply satisfied man, troubled, in his account, only by Mick Jagger’s disinclination to take the band on the road more than every half-decade or so-has received almost uniformly ecstatic reviews. They divorced a few years later, after Gladys met her superior at RKO Pictures, Charles Stanley Gifford (1898–1965). In 1924, Gladys remarried with Norwegian immigrant Martin Edward Mortensen (1897–1981). After abusive incidents, Gladys filed for divorce from Jasper in 1921, leading him to kidnap the children and raise them in his native Kentucky. In 1917, Gladys married Jasper Newton "Jap" Baker (1891–1951) and gave birth to a son, Robert Kermit "Jackie" (1918–1933), followed by a daughter, Berniece Inez Gladys (b. They soon migrated to Los Angeles County, where Della gave birth to a son, Marion Otis Elmer Monroe (1904–1929), and Otis started working for the Pacific Electric Railway Co. The couple moved to Piedras Negras, Coahuila in Mexico, where Otis began working for the National Railway and Della gave birth to Gladys Pearl in 1902. In Blonde, a biographical film starring Ana de Armas, Baker will be played by Julianne Nicholson.ĭella Mae Hogan was born in 1876 in Missouri and married Otis Elmer Monroe in 1899, an aspiring painter from Minneapolis.

Even tonight, as I read a handful of her poems by streetlamp while waiting on the bridge to meet my daughter, I had a hard time narrowing down which poem to share with you for today’s devotion. I have been overwhelmed by the depth of wisdom in Oliver’s collection of poems all neatly gathered into one bound gem in Devotions. To refuse joy in times of trouble is to willingly starve in the midst of plenty, thereby depriving oneself of one of the core means of sustenance provided to enable us to persevere through such hardships. From what I’ve seen in my life and read in history, such times don’t truly exist. I don’t believe that we were made to only indulge in joy when everything arrives at some peaceful state of rest – “When the sun’s shining down on and world’s all as it should be,” to quote Matt Redman. How can I be joyful when… ? Such thinking isn’t worth a fig, to use the old idiom. In hard times, I can see how someone might shun joy’s exuberant embrace.

Gay identifies the poem as a personal meditation and has noted its epic qualities. Although many have used this poem as evidence that Gay is a “happy” writer, Gay himself pointed out to interviewer David Naimon that “hen I’m talking about joy I’m talking about some kind of feeling that emerges when we are trying to hold each other’s sorrow, and trying to be with each other in the midst of, in the face of, etc., of the fact of our pain, and the fact of our sorrow, and the fact of our very imminent deaths” (See: Further Reading & Resources). For Gay this means addressing how to grapple with the mixture of tragedy and exaltation that makes up daily life. Besides the commonality of Gay’s signature style, this poem is also indicative of Gay’s subject matter of joy. Written in a free-form style, without a specific meter and rhyme, the poem is noted for its changes in language, especially how it moves from more elevated diction to the colloquial and slang. However, the poem can also be read on its own without this knowledge. In the poem, Gay uses multiple images that appear in other poems throughout the collection to create a collage-like effect, which sums up the collection. “Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude” is the penultimate poem in this award-winning collection. Ross Gay is a contemporary American poet, and Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude, published in 2015, is his third full-length book of poetry. What seemed to pull him, draw him to adventure: the speed skiing, the Andes, the Amazon, meeting headhunters in New Guinea, escaping from a prison camp? He did all this. Professor ORVILLE SCHELL (Dean, UC Berkeley School of Journalism): Pleasure. Professor Schell joins us from UC Berkeley School of Journalism, where he's dean. Orville Schell knew Heinrich Harrer and has written about his life. But the adventurer's exploits were also clouded by his association with the Nazis and the SS. During World War II, he escaped from a British prisoner of war camp, trekked across the Tibetan plateau and ended up as a tutor for the young Dalai Lama in Lhasa, a tale recounted in one of his many books, "Seven Years in Tibet." That book was a best-seller and later made into a movie starring Brad Pitt. Harrer was an Olympic skier and champion golfer and explorer and mountain climber, and part of the team that made the first ascent on the Eiger's north wall in the Swiss Alps. Heinrich Harrer died last week in his native Austria. She’s a life-long passionate reader and mystery-lover. Sara DiVello is a yoga teacher by day, mystery writer by night.
