Mary Ruefle reads from The Book (2023), together with new poems and what she terms "scraps"—found poems or brief fragments of writing. She primarily selects short pieces but also reads from "Dear Friends," an essay on friendship. Humor and reflections on the passage of time recur throughout.
Includes the found text "Words my dog knows the meaning of."
