Oh, I love that you have the "Mother to Son" image here! Yes, this book invites us into a space that is not always safe. It beckons us away from our space along the edge of the wall, to join the party and dance.

P.S. What that bookstore did to "In Cold Blood" is wrong, wrong, wrong.

I love that poem. And I love the staircase in the background of that picture (doesn't she tell him about climbing stairs in that poem?).

Yes, he was so arrogant. I wish I had the strength of a word-maker to make him dance.

oooh, I missed that staircase! (How on earth did I miss that???)

There will be some other boy or girl you will help make dance. And maybe you'll never know they become a word maker, but they will.
