Was flipping through a book about writers one time and found some quotes by female poets. Sharing 3 quotes below. The first quote made me picture myself standing before one of my kids and making this statement.  🙂  The last two actually made me feel like someone had taken my picture of ME!!

 

door knock“You might as well answer the door, my child, the truth is furiously knocking.”
Lucille Clifton, Good Woman: Poems and a Memoir 1969-1980


“I am a writer perhaps because I am not a talker.”
Gwendolyn Brooks (1917 – 2000)


“Going to the library was the one place we got to go without asking for permission. And they let us choose what we wanted to read. It was a feeling of having a book be mine entirely.”

Rita Dove
