Your point of view on the violence against women should be shouted from the rooftops, which, of course is what your poetry does. I enjoyed this interview immensely.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723639294340760325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-6520795284936140052017-01-04T08:13:14.218-05:002017-01-04T08:13:14.218-05:00Thank you, Heather, for this interview. always a p...Thank you, Heather, for this interview. always a pleasure to meet a wonderful and amazing person in this community. :)dsnake1https://www.blogger.com/profile/08724264906690080704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-87318106337450028362017-01-03T20:39:59.631-05:002017-01-03T20:39:59.631-05:00Heather, you're doing magnificent work.

A truly inspiring life is yours. So glad to get to know you better. Like Sherry I also want to say I wish I had written ‘Light in Transition’.

Thank you, Heather. This conversation needs to continue through the year, as we remain alert to guard against protections and services to women being reduced or threatened. We have come too far to willingly go back. Here, today, on my beloved beach, the sun is shining, nature is beautiful, and I can only have hope for life unfolding in a good way.Sherry Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769154286598233146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-81877695405623417602017-01-02T16:01:11.031-05:002017-01-02T16:01:11.031-05:00Yes, I have to use Samyuktha's word – what an ...Yes, I have to use Samyuktha's word – what an inspiring life! And I was so thrilled at the mention of FOR COLOURED GIRLS. I was adult when it burst on the scene, and fell madly in love with it. Then a theatre group brought the stage show to Australia! I still treasure my copy of the book – but it would never have occurred to me to try and emulate the style, as those magical cadences are quite foreign to Aussies; I could only appreciate and admire. Domestic violence is a very big issue here too, and public awareness is growing, thanks largely to the wonderful work of Rosie Batty ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosie_Batty ). It is indeed important to keep standing – and speaking, and writing – against it. Thank you, Sherry and Heather, for a very enlivening interview.Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-3463294118463460542017-01-02T14:23:29.042-05:002017-01-02T14:23:29.042-05:00Thank you for providing such an inspiring and love...Thank you for providing such an inspiring and lovely start to this year! :)Samyuktha Semi Jayaprakashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03879275723002707278noreply@blogger.com
