Your words matter to me because you show that poetry matters, that it is a human heart and mind, in your case quite remarkable ones, shaping language in the struggle to communicate what lies deepest. I read your poems constantly and study them. But I also use them in a feminist, poetry-based havurah called "Fringes," which means that here in Philadelphia, a group of women have been praying your words monthly for five years now.
From that community to you, our blessings and a prayer for refuah shlema - a healing of body, of mind, and of spirit.
