Interview with Megan Mayhew Bergman  →
This is an interview by One Story about Megan Mayhew Bergman’s short story Housewifely Arts.  It’s a story about the complicated relationship between mothers and daughters.  Bergman can put into words all the things I never could.  It’s a really great story and it’s nice to know some of the writer’s thoughts about the story.

Nor life, nor force, nor any visible thing; Appearance must not foil, nor shifted sphere confuse thy brain. Ample are time and space—ample the fields of Nature. The body, sluggish, aged, cold—the embers left from earlier fires, The light in the eye grown dim, shall duly flame again; The...

I came across this today.  It means “the person I am with today.”  Glad to know there is a name for it.  At least in German there is.
