You Wouldn't Believe Who I Met!!!!!

"In order to live free and happily you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice." - Richard Bach
I met Natasha Trethewey!!!! And if you don't know who that is, well, you are not that smart! (It's okay, though. I didn't know who she was, either.) She won the Pulizer Prize for poetry last year! You have got to get her book Native Guard. If you have lost a loved one, you will understand how deeply personal and difficult writing this poetry might have been. The pictures I've seen of her do her no justice--she's drop-dead gorgeous. I've been reinvigorated by her advice and her work.
Going to study now. I have work to do! Google "Natasha Trethewey" and "Monument"--you will understand why she got the prize!

I am so glad you enjoyed Natasha Trethew's poems. Also check out "Sweeping Beauty" -- she has some poems in there, and the other poems are great to read, too.
I mentioned her in my blog, hedgehoglover.blogspot.com -- AND I write for www.getyourenglishon.net , a book lover's blog. No poetry on that blog -- yet!
