Catherine reads January Brink from her work Geosmin. "There are people who love summer as a time of gathering, I suppose I like that-but I love snowy outdoors even more. There's something clean and spare about January, and the snow and ices catches the most beautiful light. A graph of daylight throughout the year is represented as a lopsided lemniscate-a figure 8 resting on it's side representing infinity. January on the graph is an edge; a brink." CY
