CAAF: Morning coffee

• David Orr’s review of Elegy, a book of poetry by Mary Jo Bang, explores the difficulties of transforming great grief into art.
• After a couple clunkers, it sounds as if Salman Rushdie’s latest novel, The Enchantress of Florence, is a return to form. Ursula K Le Guin praises it to the “brilliant, fascinating” moon.
• Once more with feeling!: Three different accounts of the recent Buffy reunion panel in L.A. Each one contains different morsels of trivia, backstage gossip, and reads on the personalities, so if you’re a fan you’ll want to read all three. If you’re not a fan, you’ll, um, just want to skip the whole thing. (Via.)
