I met Karen once a few years ago in Pasadena, but distincly remember the poem she wrote for the paintings of Henry Fukuhara, "Sunshine melts purpled blue scars". Such depth I felt for Manzanar through her words. <br /><br />Your poem for Karen is absolutely lovely!<br /><br />Thank you for this sharing!<br /><br /><br />Steviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03466360869194291272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534877918340341.post-5280728301040952682013-01-20T10:36:43.162-08:002013-01-20T10:36:43.162-08:00Thank you Maja this is a beautiful beautiful post,...Thank you Maja this is a beautiful beautiful post, a bouquet of poems and feelings gathered and presented in tribute, to Karen Klingman, to all of her friends and family, to all who knew and loved her... your prospect of a book is a beautiful one... and together all of us will find the way to do this! Your poem is a deep and loving statement touching so truly her humor, powers and sensibilities... I love how you feel... <br />"Shredded thoughts" that "fall<br />With the grace of minutes<br />On my tawny hair". <br /><br />Maja, you are a deep source of inspiration to all of us in your own poetry and also your ability to absorb with love what others give, as Karen did in such a wondrous way. You transform that listening into love, and action.Kathabelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863810661468891882noreply@blogger.com
