Rosamund Pike cuts the ribbon for the annual Bird's Eye View festival..
“If we really want to change the game, we have to set aside our notions that ambition and competitiveness are unseemly, and allay our indignation when confronted with it. We can convert sexism into competition. We compete healthily, show our feminine sides while being gloriously, attractively, sexily ambitious – can you see the way forward? I think I can…”

A poem by Tomas Transtromer, Nobel prized Swedish poet...
THE COUPLE
They turn the light off, and its white globe glows
an instant and then dissolves, like a tablet
in a glass of darkness. Then a rising.
The hotel walls shoot up into heaven's darkness.
Their movements have grown softer, and they sleep,
but their most secret thoughts begin to meet
like two colors that meet and run together
on the wet paper in a schoolboy's painting.
It is dark and silent. The city however has come nearer
tonight. With its windows turned off. Houses have come.
They stand packed and waiting very near,
a mob of people with blank faces.

Feist
The Circle married the line
This is gorgeous. In Feist's words, 'It's as much what it is as what it's not.'

A book in a box (published in the 60s, it was the first of it's kind) is being republished. Every page is loose and stands alone. You can read it in any order. No need to put your kindle on shuffle. The author does it for you.
