About Alice Kuipers
Confessions & Coffee
A biweekly newsletter about books, writing, and the art of paying attention.
Confessions & Coffee is a quiet pause in your week—a place to think about books, writing, and the way words help us make sense of our lives. I’m glad you’ve found your way here.
About this newsletter
This newsletter is a place where attention slows and ideas have room to unfold. I publish every second Friday, slowly and deliberately, because I believe good writing—and good reading—needs space (plus I have four children so I need time to think! )
Here, I write essays about:
books that change us over time
living a writing life
crime, memoir, and why stories are so important
memory, care, attention, flow, long walks and the seasons
What you’ll find here
Some pieces are short and companionable.
