We notice that “_Polite Magazine_”:http://www.politemag.com/ (love that name) recently featured a “short appreciation”:http://www.politemag.com/brennan.htm of Maeve Brennan. Much like “Emily”:http://emdashes.com/mt/mt-search.cgi?tag=pigeons&blog_id=2 here at Emdashes, Brennan was very observant and was fond of pigeons. I’ve had her collection _The Long-Winded Lady_ for a while now and I keep meaning to get to it. Soon!
