Symborska and I


I had the great pleasure of meeting Symborska in 2000. I was able to interview her and chat about poetry. A very warm and gentle spirit, she allowed for a young person to question her writing. That feeling will never be forgotten, as we two souls sat at a dim lit table discussing the many wonders of world. For that, I am extremely grateful. She was and will remain a great influence on my writing. 

“…whatever else we might think of this world — it is astonishing.”
