Think globally and act locally.  So many wonderful stories here to tell–and to share with the world.

Harry Ricketts, a poet who has also written a celebrated biography of Rudyard Kipling, gave me a copy of his mini-chapbook, “How to Live Elsewhere.”  This is part of the Montana Estates Essay Series Titles, featuring Damien Wilkins, Bill Manhire and Simon Morris, along with other prominent New Zealand writers.  The chapbooks have been discontinued by its sponsor, Montana Estates vineyards, but this is a great idea and a lovely series.
