Today is the birthday of a famous Texas-born writer, Katherine Anne Porter. I've blogged about my meeting with her before. (See here, here, here, and here.) In at least one of those posts, I told the story of how Charlotte Laughlin took a photo of Miss Porter's coffin, which she kept in a closet in her apartment. I don't recall that I've published that photo, however, so here it is.

At least via commission, she's the first to put flowers on her own grave.
Somehow, fromt he author of those short stories and SHIP OF FOOLS, that isn't too surprising...
True. A lot of the collected stories deal with death and even graves.
This supports my theory that most tole painting should be buried:]
Dr. Crider,
I love the pictures and especially the epitaph.
Thanks, Angie. KAP was quite a character.
