Her readers, myself among them, posted quotations, interviews, and anecdotes that spanned her career. A few weeks prior, I heard her recite her 2017 poem “Looking Back” on the podcast A Phone Call From Paul. As far as I know it hasn’t been published so I can’t say that the line breaks and punctuations are as she would have liked, but I transcribed it anyway.
