I knew and loved her (I was 18 when she died), but never asked her about what her life as a girl was like, and why she stayed behind for a few years when her family came to the U.S. from Russia (which I now know was Lithuania), what she did there, why she came alone at 14-- and how she saw the world, love, life. Also I'd like to talk to my dad, who died in 1993 but lost his language 9 years before. For a writer to talk to, Adrienne Rich, poet and essayist -- about being honest and telling the truth, as well as about writing. And I'd like to reconnect with poet June Jordan (whom I worked with in the late 60's, and who died in 2002, just before I tried to email her), for the same reasons as Adrienne.Ellen J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11101876416191846851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701267910813474066.post-80305569684170227382016-12-12T14:23:20.767-05:002016-12-12T14:23:20.767-05:00Many comments to this post are here: https://hubs...Many comments to this post are here: https://hubski.com/pub/364381 <br /><br />Unexpectedly, almost everyone wants to talk to a family member.Lil Blumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590816428802923708noreply@blogger.com
