Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage restores to the literary canon an extraordinarily gifted writer, who was recognized as a major talent, with Guggenheim and MacArthur "genius" fellowships, before all but disappearing from public view for decades, until nearly the end of her life when her work was rediscovered.

Bette Howland herself was an outsider: an intellectual from a working-class neighborhood in Chicago; a divorc e and single mother, to the disapproval of her family; an artist chipped away at by poverty and perfection. Each of these facets plays a central role in her work. Mining her deepest emotions for her art, she chronicles the tensions of her generation--and her native city--with a flair for language in the tradition of Lucia Berlin, Kathleen Collins, and Grace Paley. Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage introduces a new generation of readers to a wry, brilliant observer and a writer of great empathy and sly, joyous humor. With an afterword by Honor Moore.

An Amazing Addition to My Counter!
Color: Black
At first I did not think I needed this, but after using it for almost a year, I have found out how amazing this product is. It makes the coffee I get much better and lets me pack the grind much more evenly. It is also made of entirely metal, which adds a lot of weight and makes it feel super premium. After using it almost every day for a year now, I still have not needed to replace the needles, yet it came with nine more. All of that value for such a small price makes this great for me and anyone looking to improve their coffee making.

Great little tool
I recently purchased this product after upgrading my grinder. So far it had worked well and the little magnetic holder attaches perfectly to the Breville Barista Express I have. I love that it’s magnetic and keeps the tool out of the way and in a secure spot. Additionally, they throw in a double sided 3M sticky pad for those who do not have a surface where it can magnetize to. Overall great WDT with a great storage solution.
