I Wrote a Novel
I wrote a novel. It is called Hitomi. Let me tell you about it.
It is a story about falling in love, but unlike so many stories of falling in love, it is mostly the falling. Not hitting the ground. Not linking arms with someone. Falling like Alice fell down the rabbit hole. "So is this the new normal now?"
It is also about the flip side of the coin of falling in love, which is falling into grief. Bu Read more of this blog post »

| This book is immediately engaging. Heidi Kraay uses the Century format of poetry to draw us in with the quotidian and then gut punch us with the confessional. It is a perfect mixture that is undeniable. Poetic memoir at its best. | |

“Writing a poem is like trying to halt a supertanker by holding a dandelion up to it. You can laugh at the frivolity of it. You can ridicule the person for doing such a thing. But—and I’m not saying this makes you one of them—when you laugh at poets, you laugh alongside tyrants. You are standing next to the powerful and the angry and the rich, and you might as well be a bully too, laughing at the weak person cutting snowflakes out of tissue paper. Yes, you are right. But is right everything you want to be?”
