This was beautiful. I loved how you brought alive the road trip experiences. I loved how you gave a picture of how you met, how you worked with each other; you two, your friendship is a poem itself. I loved how you described the gap between what people thought of Brenda before she opened her mouth, and how they were blown away from their assumptions, just like you were blown away from yours about Arkansas (and I was blown away from mine about Arkansas too). " If honey could growl" - you nailed that. What a phrase. The quote from the other poets you used were right on the mark so beautifully evocative. By the end of reading this, I was a basket case again. I thought I was done with the heavy mourning part. The picture, oh but it was the topper, the final release button; who could resist that ecstatic picture. That is Brenda. And this, this act of love piece of writing, authentic and loyal and out-loud and nailing it, is you. Love from, Mohja Ah, Lisa. This was beautiful.
