"Down there — buried inside you — are regions you haven't touched for years or decades, or ever, except in hopes or dreams or nightmares. Those are the bits and remnants of all you've taken in — the lost cities of Atlantis, the elephants' graveyard, the forgotten playgrounds and bone yards of your life. Down there under the pressure and heat of living are the images you need for making poems — some of them already diamonds, most of them coal waiting to stoke your furnace — and gushers of oil that would drive your imagination's engine longer than you could write"

Rain Dancer on October 21, 2006I would love to be your AP sister, and 20 isn't too old-since I'm almost 17-it would work perfectly. You can look at my author's page and let me know if you're interested.
