About This Poem

 

“These days, I find I am more fascinated by the storytellers than the stories they tell. So many of the storytellers and teachers of my childhood were women, like Magda the glorious one. In many ways, these women were charged with preparing children for the future while rebuilding—through language and narrative—a past under threat of erasure. Most of this poem appears to be in English, but what lives inside of it? I write at the intersection of English with many other stories.”
