This is my favorite TMR collection. It has sent me back into quiet corners in libraries, back to the poet laureates, back in love with Maya Angelou & Patti Smith, cleaning cobwebs from long forgotten lost conversations, rediscovering In Their Own Voices, laughing with and loving the girl inside and her crude attempts to make sense of life while the world happened around her. I cannot express the depth of my gratitude for this lovely gift and its subsequent reawakening of my love of words and the voices of courage that make them.
I gave it a try, we’ll see..the research was fascinating at least! Would love to know the correct answers when it’s over!
Oh god I thought I had it but then I realised the person I put down as not being published was a freaking musician. Now I don’t know if I’m even in the running.
ohh and please when the contest ends reveal the answers as my brain hurts now and just gotta know!
got one and three almost drove myself mad with two hopefully got it right.
my goodness these are hard!
