After I read Parable of the Sower, I remembered that I had previously read a story by Octavia Butler. It was from 1984 called Bloodchild. I can't say I enjoyed it--it was creepy, but well-written. It was in an anthology, Women of Wonder The Contemporary Years Science Fiction by Women from the 1970s to the 1990s.
Then I re-read Nancy Kress's selection, And Wild for to Hold in.the same anthology. I recognized the title as a line from a Thomas Wyatt poem about Anne Boleyn as soon as I saw it I'm sure it was the first story I read.
I enjoy re-reading stories and books. But there are many new things to read as well.
