Wonderful to listen to your lovely voice reading this just now while knitting 🧶 I had a hectic visit to the dentist today and this was just what I needed.....now to your backlist!🙋♀️❤️📚🧶
Welty is one of my very favorites, too. What a wonderful writer! I am about to pick up the new edition of her One Writer's Beginnings, which I have not read in many years.
@@HannahsBooks I know you probably know this but she lived through the 1918 pandemic, World war 1 and 2 and the Vietnam wars. Incredible life and perspective.
I've never been to your chanel before, I just looked this up to listen to for my college class but honestly your voice is so soft and smooth and like super calming and it helped calmed my nerves about my upcoming test and helped me learn too
Yes I did! What a great discussion. I am planning to read One Writer's Beginnings again very soon--after in a great many years. I especially loved hearing her niece talking about her on the presentation.
Hello again, I just read Why I live at the PO, by Eudora Welty and although I know she lwas a Southern writer, it reminded me of my childhood in a Brooklyn New York project. Some of the expressions were similar to the ones I heard during that time. Story was very colorful and full of a chaotic family of which I grew up in. I know you're from the South, and I was wondering if you read it? Aloha Maya
@@HannahsBooks wow thank you for the fast reply and answer! That makes sense:) I love reading along as you tell the story, you do such a wonderful job THANK YOU!!
Listened to this for my college class and it was really well done, thanks!
Thank you so much!

Magic woven by words , words that will echo in our hearts forever.
One of my absolute favorite Southern writers. Thank you for giving her some current recognition.

Thanks for your kind words. Good luck on your exam!
A beautiful story read with passion. I've never read it. Eudora Welty was a complicated writer for sure. Aloha
I’ve scheduled this as the next one! She is so amazing!
I love when you do this Hannah!
We studied this in one of my composition classes in college!
Well, this was like catnip. Thank you! Did you see the recent Welty discussion at Politics and Prose on Zoom?
Yes I did! What a great discussion. I am planning to read One Writer's Beginnings again very soon--after in a great many years. I especially loved hearing her niece talking about her on the presentation.
Very well done, thank you!
Thank you so much, Amanda!

Yes indeed! It is one of my all-time favorite stories. I'll go look up a link to my reading of the story. One moment...

Wonderful!
Many thanks!
In my english book of literature, on page 466 in the 3rd paragraph down it says "the *track* went into the road but you read it as cypress tree?
When it was published in The Atlantic in 1941, “cypress trees” was the wording, but it is definitely “track” in The Collected Stories. Good catch!
