Brown Girl Dreaming was given to me by a friend and I devoured it quickly and reread many parts before handing it over to my mother in law. What a joy to return to this book with your beautiful prose this morning. Thank you!

The timing was not planned, of course, but the resonance with Baltimore cannot be ignored. Listening is the first and greatest virtue. I know Lawrence is grateful for your kind comment, Carolyn! xo

That last line of the poem was what gave me the chill. Listening is the first important thing. Acting is the next. Thank you so much for your comment. xo
