““Here is a handful

of shadow I have brought back to you:

this decay, this hope, this mouth-

full of dirt, this poetry.””

50 yr u.s. woman here. Your prose is so powerful, transcendent, so timeless and hints at wisdom and insight far beyond your years. It resonates directly (and so elegantly!) on the thrum of human experience. Just ordered your book. You are brilliant.

That is amazing. It’s amazing that you’re 50 and enjoy my writing because I look back on that book and my writing now and think “look how I’ve grown.” And then I’m so proud of myself because I’m not the person I was 2 years ago. And I’m proud that that girl, who she was, is still appreciated. You are the person that I’m writing for.
