MN Women Poets' Anthology Kick-off, 2-3-07




This was an amazing event: women from 91 to 30 something, from all ethnic backgrounds, who live/lived in MN, all speaking with the same spirit and remembering the same landscape of what it means to be a MN Woman Poet!!! There was fun, there was sadness, there was activism, there was beauty: all those things big and small that live within MN women's hearts and memories. Listening to them, even being French-born and coming from Hmong ancestry: I could totally hear the voices of my foremothers. Thank you MN for making me that kind of strong and witty woman who understands the language of water, ice and community!
