Today’s stop on the Rooted and Winged blog tour by Poetic Book Tours is an interview of me by The Book Connection. The photos I am sharing here of my maternal grandparents (in Kalamazoo) are to complement the interview.
Grandma with baby me: this is the grandmother in poems like “Spotlight” and “Your Foot Bone Connected to Your Heart Bone”With Grandpa at my 2nd birthday party: this is the grandfather in “Gravity” and “Spotlight”
I really enjoyed the interview! and the poets you mention like Edna St. Vincent Millay, LM Alcott & Emily Dickinson. Very pleasant thank you both, was having trouble commenting thru Blogger but leave my comment here 🙂
Thank you, Jade! When I was in high school I got ahold (through the library) of a recording of Edna St. Vincent Millay reading “Renascence.” it blew me away. I keep trying to find it to listen to it again!
Wonderful, Luanne – I particularly loved the picture of you with your grandpa!
He looked so young and helpful to blow out the candle…hm…you might should write a poem about someone very young, very helpful.
Or maybe you already did!
Wow, I just figured it out. He was only 48 here! How is that possible? I thought he was always old haha. He was a nice man and a character, both at the same time. Thanks, Sheila!!!

You’re welcome, Luanne!
I enjoyed the interview, Luanne, particuarly your love of place and your grandparents.
So happy you liked it, Liz. Place is so important to me, and I think RAW is so much about place.
I know just what you mean, Luanne. Place is very important to me as well.
