Last night I read my work at the Harn Museum. I chose an excerpt from my essay “Rolling in the Mud.” Here are my remarks, more or less, after the reading.
It was an eye opening and sensory rich experience to hear you read and be exposed to your own experiences through your words. I believe nature is female at its core: Mother Earth, Gaia, in Spanish we refer to it in feminine: la naturaleza. Marge Piercy wrote sometime ago “The Moon is Always Female” and I extend it to say “Nature is Always Female”
It was lovely to have you there, Nemir. And you've encouraged me to go re-read that collection by Piercy. And maybe it's time to re-read (again) "He, She, and It."

Thank you for your gift.

You do you so beautifully. Brava.
Thank you, Gale. Thank you for saying this.
You go, girl! Thanks for sharing!
