Ghost Lover by Lisa Taddeo is a book of short stories about older women reckoning with aging that I, a gal who does not like short story collections has read twice. It is BITING.
Tom Lake by Ann Patchett is about a woman with adult children who had a fling with a starlet and now lives on a cherry farm. It was really sweet—nothing groundbreaking but I‘m glad I read it.
The characters in Biography of X by Catherine Lacey seem ageless but are middle aged—a woman whose secretive but famous wife has just died goes on a journey to discover who she was. It’s set in a reimagined America where the south has cut itself off from the rest of the country. Very hard to put down!!

I’m not a mother and to be completely transparent I don’t really want to be one ever. Something struck me so deep in my poetry class last semester that probably pushed me farther into not wanting children, poetry about motherhood. It must be my knack for empathy and passion that connects me so hard to these poems, who knows. I really really love these poems. ‘Metaphors’ by Sylvia Plath and ‘the mother’ by Gwendolyn Brooks, to name a few. There was an especially hard hitting one about being a stay at home mother, but it’s escaping me in the moment. If I remember it I will come back to this. I have an inkling that fellow women in their 20s may relate to this, and if not I would recommend going down a rabbit hole. It’s existential but who doesn’t love that?

Listen to Jockstrap. It’s made up of Georgia Ellery (also in Black Country New Road) and Taylor Skye, and they go sooo hard. Georgia is the voice and plays multiple instruments while Taylor is more on the production side. I went to their Pitchfork Aftershow in Chicago last year and I have never had so much fun at a concert. Taylor sits onstage and literally just deejays the whole time (which is not a jab at him, he is a genius). Georgia sings, plays instruments, and performs for her LIFE. It’s a must listen, must see, must know.
Here are some of my favorites of theirs;
- City Hell
- Glasglow
- Sexy 2
- 50/50 (Extended Mix)
- Hayley
LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN!!!
