On her favorite poets as a child: “I never met any of my friends, of course, in a usual way—they were strangers, and loved only in their writings. But if they were only shadow-companions, still they were constant, and powerful, and amazing. That is, they said amazing things, and got me it changed the world.”
As Walt Whitman was to Mary, so was Madeleine L’Engle, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Lois Lowry to me.
