Oh, thank you! Am glad that the pieces have resonated, and it's an honor, to have this writing associated with that crowd. B.L. Hawkins and I overlapped in Bolinas, but although I knew her name, I don't think I knew her. (Their kids were older than I was.) Lovely to hear these nice words about her as a teacher as well as a poet. Thanks for this, and also for the recommendation, which I just saw.

That's interesting. Although, I think the original piece also had a certain nuance that this was not a perfect childhood by any means, but almost a series of snapshots in a collage of the best bits. (Apologies for saddling you with another analogy!)
