Week 3: Life and Death in America



















Pray God you can cope.
I stand outside this woman's work,
This woman's world.
Ooh, it's hard on the man,
Now his part is over.
Now starts the craft of the father.

—Kate Bush, "This Woman's Work" (1988)

  1. Where do I find the reading...

    CR—“Margaret, and mystery” by Rick Bragg, “Delivering Lily” by Phillip Lopate?

    Is it part of the book All Over but the Shoutin'?

  2. They're in the reader (CR), but it isn't ready yet, so don't worry about them for now.
