“I do not belong anywhere.
I have an accent in every language I speak.”
Sholeh Wolpé, Keeping Time with Blue Hyacinths: Poems
“Everything is fiction except
for what hides in the heart.”
Sholeh Wolpé, Keeping Time with Blue Hyacinths: Poems
“Poetry is impervious to bullets.”
Sholeh Wolpé
“My advice to young writers is this: read widely, think independently, live fully, and travel adventurously. Do not narrow the road of your life. If you have not gathered perspectives and voices and if you have not learned to think independently, then what you write will have the depth of a sewing thimble.”
Sholeh Wolpé
“Without tenderness and a sense of humor life gathers weight.”
Sholeh Wolpé
