On READ TO ME, we practice the most fundamental skill of writing — how to listen for what works on the page. (And then understand why.)
Today, I read the poem "Abuela Sestina" from Memorias from the Beltway by Mauricio Novoa. Then we get to love how perfectly the poetic form of the sestina serves this complex, country-hopping, bi-lingual, danger-filled, love-filled, bird-filled story.
