Meet March: A Seasons Picture Book for the Start of Spring by April Martin

by Leave a Comment

The concept of the book, Meet March: A Seasons Picture Book for the Start of Spring, is neat: having February and April help March “find spring.” The idea is that winter (February) is leaving, March is doing its March things while looking for spring, and then March hands things off (symbolized by a rabbit) to April to run with it.

The focus is less about the world itself so much as the chaos, uncertainty, and disruption we feel (irrespective of whether or […]

Spring – 5/5 Stars Summer – 4/5 Stars The first two volumes of Karl Ove Knausgard’s Årstidsencyklopedien Cycle (which translates to something like Seasonal Encyclopedia) function more or less as the title suggests. A few years ago, after completing what is likely his masterwork My Struggle, a six-volume series of novels based on an interpretative view of his life (and I have to say having read the first three, that while they do focus on a lot of minutia, they are much more structures, focused, and […]
