Books: She taught me to eat Artichokes
December 12, 2009 | Books,Iowa
I just finished reading two books by Iowa author Mary Kay Shanley, The Memory Box and She taught me to eat Artichokes. They are both warm, touching and just a little bit sad. But maybe that’s just me.

Mary Kay is a friend of mine and was the leader of the first writing workshop I attended. She taught me to ‘write small,’ lots of power in a few words – like in these books.

Well, tell her I enjoyed her lovely writing, even if it did make me tear up. :)
