It is a risky business. I think you found your poem for the day. I am curious about a Shardoma. I must say that I do not know what that might be. I will look forward to reading your example at some point this month.

Lois Lowry was so gracious at NCTE last fall. I am so lucky to have a signed copy of The Giver for my granddaughter.

I will be thinking about this idea of "risky" and "unsafe" with reading all day today--such a surprising juxtaposition with something I normally think of as so comforting and safe. Thank you for being so transparent about your process too. I've never heard of the shardoma before and look forward to learning more when that piece is ready.Elisabeth Ellingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747914394861199796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724394291330902141.post-55597356192444770682018-04-03T07:18:17.186-06:002018-04-03T07:18:17.186-06:00Such a powerful book and a powerful poem!Such a powerful book and a powerful poem!Jeannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724394291330902141.post-43721784056613466962018-04-03T04:48:17.977-06:002018-04-03T04:48:17.977-06:00A poem indeed!
