i read about amina cain in danielle dutton and i remembered i may have met her at home gallery years ago. i think she was a friend of rachel. maybe it was during rachel and my show. i remember asking her about her writing. i remember i was inebriated and embarrassed. seeing how a book directs, can direct, attention to people or other books. i'll read her now. my memory may be an association based on a memory of something i need to revisit.
