I like that idea: 'Writing is a mode of being present.' Or what she says a little further on: "I write because it's the best way I know to inhabit my life fully..."
Very nice interview, MaryAnne. Can't wait to see the next one...
Loved this interview, MAK!
Great questions, MAK, and loved her spirit that shines through her words. Lovely read.
"..it is within every one of us to empathize, to be drawn closer to others simply by understanding what we all share." Amen, Sister. That about says it all. Thanks!
Wonderful interview with a fine writer. Great job, MaryAnne.
Thanks to all of you for reading the interview with Leah. I cannot say enough about what a great person she is to talk to and how stunning her new book, The Grief of Others is!
