As part of Subtext literary festival at Clark College, the Columbia Writer's Series welcomed writer Karen Russell.
*this set is inspired by one of the greatest bullfight narrators, writers and poets of the last century,
Maia Wociewska, who's: "the life and death of a brave bull" remains one of the finest literary achievements of all times and serves as inspiration for this set.
"He pushed against the pain,
his mouth shut tight,
eyes open and fixed on his prey.
The more he pushed the pain,
the deeper the pain went.
The wetness on his back spread
and than fell red on the yellow sand.
Yet he did not leave the pic once
while it's steel tip cut down on his wind
but not on his want.
to hold the horse at bay,
to fight.

on a note of interest, Maia Wojcziewska, aside from being a brilliant writer, was an accomplished bullfighter, one of the few who ventured into the rings to face the brave bulls with great courage, intelligence and above all her love for all animals which was so evident in her kills. Sure, swift and with love.

Born in Londonderry, Coyle became lame as the result of an accident when she was three and had to wear a built-up shoe. When she was still a young woman the family house burned down and she moved to Liverpool with her mother and one of her brothers. She worked there in a library, and then in an editor's office in London. Later she travelled in Belgium and in Paris - where she knew the Joyces - before moving to Dublin and taking part in the labour and women's suffrage movements.
Coyle wrote to earn money and, among other works, published thirteen novels, one of which - 'The French Husband' - was composed in eleven days. Her best-known publications are two volumes of autobiography, 'A Flock Of Birds' and The Magical Realm', which deal with her childhood in Derry.

Happy Birthday sister!
A couple days ago she asked to be in Day 295. She didn't know what she wanted to do for it, so I snapped pictures really late at night when she was caught off-guard. This is her making a list of things she could buy with birthday money. I love her.

Wesley Greenhill Lyttle is thought to have been born near Newtownards, County Down, in 1844.
An accountant, a teacher of shorthand and an elocutionist, Lyttle was above all an entertainer, often in the guise of his alter-ego "Robin", a jovial country farmer who regaled his audiences in Ulster-Scots. Lyttle had been a lecturer in Dr Corry's Irish Diorama Company, which toured Britain and America with a show entitled Ireland, its scenery, music and antiquities. For most of the 1870s he lived in Belfast where he began to write and perform his humorous monologues. In 1880 he established the North Down Herald in Newtownards. In 1883 Lyttle moved the newspaper to Bangor and added the additional title of Bangor Gazette.
Lyttle was the author of a great many poems and sketches in Ulster-Scots. His humorous monologues, recited in the speech of an Ards farmer, were reproduced in his newspaper and subsequently published as Robin's Readings. Betsy Gray or Hearts of Down, his most popular work, originally appeared in serial form in the newspaper. It was printed in paperback in 1888; a third edition came in 1894 and an illustrated sixth edition was published in 1913 by Robert Carswell, revised by the antiquarian Francis Joseph Bigger.
He wrote two further novels, Sons of the Sod and Daft Eddie or the Smugglers of Strangford Lough. He regularly performed at various public events as "Robin Gordon of Ballycuddy".
Lyttle died on 1 November 1896, and is buried in the grounds of Bangor Abbey. His memorial there reads: "…a man of rare natural gifts, he raised himself to a high position among the journalists of Ireland. He was a brilliant and graceful writer, a true humourist and an accomplished poet. Robin was a kind friend, a genial companion and a true son of County Down."
"When Katherine Anne Porter left her home state of Texas for New York, she brought with her the hard edge of a Western pioneer. Passionate and intelligent, it was this edge more than anything that made her name as a writer. Despite her self-imposed exile from her home and Southern background, Porter used this distance as a means of coming to terms with the memories she sought to escape.
Born in India Creek, Texas in 1890, Katherine Anne Porter lost her mother at the age of two. Raised primarily by her paternal grandmother, Porter became strong and self-reliant at an early age. Both the loss of her mother and her father’s subsequent neglect had a lasting effect on Porter—making her incredibly attentive to the harsh realities of the human endeavor.
At age fifteen she married John Henry Koontz, the first of four husbands. Throughout her entire life she would continue to have passionate affairs marked by dramatic and vicious break-ups. She spent her early twenties moving from Texas to Chicago and back, working as an actress, a singer, and, later, a secretary. In 1917, after a battle with tuberculosis, Porter took a job as a society columnist for the Fort Worth CRITIC. Two years later she moved to Greenwich Village, where she began to work seriously as a fiction writer.
Supporting herself with journalism and “hack” writing, Porter published her first story in CENTURY magazine. Though CENTURY provided her with a good sum for the story, Porter was rarely to return to popular magazine publishing, choosing instead the freedom of little magazines. A perfectionist concerned with controlling every word of her stories, Porter gained a name for her flawless prose. Often concerned with the themes of justice, betrayal, and the unforgiving nature of the human race, Porter’s writings occupied the space where the personal and political meet.
In 1930 her first book, FLOWERING JUDAS, was published by Harcourt Brace. Though a masterly collection of short stories, it met with only modest sales. It was not until almost ten years later that she published her second book, a collection of three short novels, PALE HORSE, PALE RIDER. She followed this in 1944 with THE LEANING TOWER AND OTHER STORIES. Concerning herself overtly with the rise of Nazism, Porter was able to further investigate the dark side of the average person. It was not, however, until nearly twenty years later that she was able to address the topic in greater depth.
SHIP OF FOOLS (1962), was Porter’s first and only novel. Dealing with the lives of a group of various and international travelers, the book became an instant success. Based partially on a trip to Germany thirty years earlier, SHIP OF FOOLS, attacked the weakness of a society that could allow for the Second World War. After 1962, Porter did very little writing, though she won a Pulitzer Prize for her COLLECTED STORIES four years later.
In 1977, fifty years after her protest of the Sacco and Vanzetti trial, Porter wrote an account of the event entitled THE NEVER-ENDING WRONG. Three years later she died at the age of ninety. Outliving most of her contemporaries, the strong-willed Porter left behind a thin but insightful body of work. Her flawless pen and harsh criticism of not only her times, but of human society, made Porter a major voice in twentieth century American literature."
