This afternoon NPR had a segment with two of the people behind SMITH Magazine. They were talking about “Six Word Memoirs on Love and Heartbreak,” the new book that has come from SMITH’s “six word memoir” feature. The inspiration was a piece by Hemingway, as sad as it was brief: “For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn.” Not all of theirs are that sad, I hasten to assure you. Some of the more memorable:
Tried men, tried women, like cats.
Confess in anguish to imaginary gods.
My Mom warned me about musicians.
Found love when apartment caught fire.
Years passed. I never let go.
Hates Valentine’s Day, loves me instead.
Yes, dear. You’re right. I’m sorry.
Here’s a promotional video for the book.
