Poetry Friday: Where Ideas Come From

"The journey of transforming grief into light. That's basically what the story's about. Where do we put this grief? how do we handle it and how does it transform and change us so that we can be reborn."
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful....thank you for sharing all this good stuff about Cisneros and her work. And, good luck with the grading!
Tara- I love reading about how poets/writers come up with ideas for their books. I'm glad you enjoyed it too!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda. Thank you for posting this. I love her work. Some of my friends are in this broken open grief right now. I think a book like this would ease them a little.
