Hi Stephanie, thanks for your notes on Derek Jarman's book. I have a copy of "Derek Jarman's Sketchbooks" but didn't know about this one. And am intrigued by "An Episode of Sparrows."

Two books you might be interested in: "15 Dogs" by André Alexis and "Reclaiming Artistic Research" interviews by and edited by Lucy Cotter.

Love that you read and write—on the shores of Lake Erie.

Thanks so much for these recommendations, Joan—looking forward to checking them out! I also read Derek Jarman's Garden, which has many more color pictures of the garden itself; a nice complement to Modern Nature.

What a gorgeous photograph you took, Stephanie! I gulp up anything by Jarman...

Thank you! I'd love to read more of his work and watch the films. I tend to get obsessed with one movie/director for a long time, and since April, it has been Alice Rohrwacher, but maybe my visual brain will unclamp a bit and I'll be able to watch some Jarman films.

I just borrowed Modern Nature from the library on your recommendation, can't wait to start!
