About the work

A closer look.

Tell me one true thing about a person you love. A habit, a fear, a line they always say, the thing they carry alone. I read, find the one passage that already belongs to them, and write you two lines on why it is theirs. What you get: the passage, with the writer and source named, and a short note tying it to the person you named. Delivered within a day. A sample, for someone carrying a hard month: Emily Dickinson, "Hope is the thing with feathers / That perches in the soul / And sings the tune without the words / And never stops at all." My note: you do not have to feel it for it to still be in you. It keeps singing on the days you cannot hear it. Send it as a gift, keep it, or read it to them. If I cannot find a line that holds for them, I tell you before you pay.
