Hi Sarah, Thanks for this great review. I love this book too–and I agree, it never feels old. I’ve reread it many times. Robin

Byrne’s response to your question is fascinating. I love and admire her desire to speak only in poetry.

And I feel like I need to learn several languages now — it’s so freeing, in a way, to plan activities out over half-decades. It’s nice to set an end marker for 2026 and say, “I will still be here then.”

Thank you, Sarah. Both Byrne & her work sound fascinating. I wouldn’t have learned about her (probably) if not for this “one thing.”
