Comments on: why i miss grace paley http://www.allochthonous.com/2009/02/27/why-i-miss-grace-paley/ for readers and writers who care about place Thu, 26 Aug 2010 15:44:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Summer Wood http://www.allochthonous.com/2009/02/27/why-i-miss-grace-paley/comment-page-1/#comment-331 Summer Wood Sat, 28 Feb 2009 14:13:09 +0000 http://www.allochthonous.com/?p=124#comment-331 I would be hugely honored to organize a reading of her work on her birthday here in New Mexico, Nora -- and I hope others who see your comment will be similarly inspired. I'll contact you for more info on connecting with concurrent events. Thanks for letting me know. And my heart goes out to you for your loss. I'm reminded of the line -- I can't remember which story, or which poem -- Grace wrote that said (forgive my mangling): I'd give anything to see my mother's shape standing in the doorway again. Thanks again for writing. I'm so happy to know there's a strong effort afoot to keep her "words in the air".

Thanks again for writing. I’m so happy to know there’s a strong effort afoot to keep her “words in the air”.
