I am lucky, born among strong women, inspired by my mother and her mother. If not for them I would not have gone off to Sarah Lawrence, one of very few from the deep south! More strong amazing women there who coaxed poems out of me: Jane Cooper, Grace Paley and Muriel Rukeyser. Friends who amazed me - I thought we would change the world...feminist, anti-war protesters. And maybe a little of our world did change. But I realize the world spins torrents of need, we only began.
