SWM Like a FSH


As a fairly rookie swimmer, I'm not certain that reading a book about a murky pool is the best idea. 

"Do one thing every day that scares you" has become my underlying 2013 mantra, and so I did.

Swimming Home by Deborah Levy is disorienting, disarming. [It was also a Man Booker Shortlist which put it on my list.]  With but a few quirky (broken) characters to follow, I was readily taken in seeing the day through the eyes of a lonely child, a seldom present wife, a cranky neighbor. 

Love lost. Love never had. Love pined. 

Words. Rain. Color.

Poetry.
