Go to minute 28 or so for the sermon. It's one of my favorite reviews of Lilith ever! A very sensitive response to the book and its intentions by an old friend, George Harris.

A brief essay on attention for Wet Cement Press
Barbara Roether was kind enough to invite me into the WCP blog to write about looking at the world: https://www.wetcementpress.com/post/attention-exercises?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=blog.post-promoter&utm_campaign=e4737382-6626-4161-929b-87f547c9ead4&fbclid=IwAR1jq_dOkJBbbJk_TEUryTiCUMozgjQaGhVmMGJEJHREFsLTXvHaGnFl2Vk

Lilith's hat
Before I left for a month, I gave a copy of _Lilith Walks_ to one of the guys in the cemetery (a Hawaiian/African American guy) who features in the book. He and I have had many political conversations over the years, as well as more friendly ones. I provided the desired "pawtograph," as well, or Lilith's rubber stamp. The other day I saw him and asked if he forgave me for the book. "Oh yes, there are lots of opinions out there, he said." I said something about DJT, and he said, "oh it's going to get crazy. DNC. Trump's still my man!" On our return from our walk, he said Lilith needed a red hat, and he didn't mean the one I was wearing.
Today, we stopped to talk to another guy who has a new puppy, Bubba (not his name, his wife did it). I remarked that there were no flowers in the bins. "Yeah, we sold out yesterday," he said. I remarked that it had been Juneteenth. Another guy stuck his head out of the shack and said, "Oh so THAT'S what that was; I wondered." We got in a chat about what the holiday represents. "The slaves in Texas didn't know for over two years they were free," I said. "Oh yes they did," he responded. "Those low-down f-king white people knew." "Good-bye, aunty, have a nice day," said the man with the puppy.

LILITH WALKS: da launch at daShop (video evidence)
Here's the video, which was a real bear to upload. Tim Dyke and I talk about animal companions and the book. I do some readings from the book. People ask tough questions that I'm still re-answering in my head.

A Review of Lilith Walks by Greg Bem
https://northofoxford.wordpress.com/2023/03/01/lilith-walks-by-susan-m-schultz/
In Lilith Walks, no description lasts long, though, because of the remarkable temporary qualities of the “dog walk.” As a literary form, a dog walk feels like a remarkable hybrid between inspiration and constraint. The “dog walk” is descriptive yet concise. It balances deep engagement with time and place and often relies on a lightheartedness to carry forth the spontaneous flashes of experience. Even the usual and ordinary are elevated because dog walking is often about established routines and norms. In Schultz’s approach, the form is opportunity to document where norms are broken, where the exceptional occurs.
