Modernist Icons Clump Together

So yesterday was James Joyce's birthday and today is Gertrude Stein's. And though nobody I know of is holding an athletic event to mark her contributions to literature, I just thought you'd want to know Project Bartleby has Tender Buttons and Three Lives online. Meanwhile, the Academy of American Poets presents excerpts from "Stanzas in Meditation":

Which I wish to say is this
There is no beginning to an end
But there is a beginning and an end
To beginning.
Why yes of course.
