[Catherine Chandler]

The poem is wonderful. As I was reading through it, I was transported back to the days when my children were growing up and it was difficult, if not impossible, for me to find the time to write the poems that were begging to be written. Brava, Alicia!

[Rick Mullin]

Yes, the poem is tremendous.

I agree with Rick about the interview. But it can be strangely difficult to break out of these limited and limiting frameworks, as I know from experiencing, having been involved in such an “interview” last year and once before several years ago. About the poem I am less enthusiastic than some of you, though Alicia is undoubtedly a very fine and intelligent poet.
