A Legacy of Words — 7 Comments

  1. How wonderful, MaryAnn. What a beautiful memory. My mom used to read to us, but there was no inflection or emotion to her voice. I, however, am the total opposite, which is no surprise to you. Ha! Congrats on your new book and award!

  2. I loved reading to my children! I loved this line, “Words were the instrument my father played. And words became the instrument I, too, learned to play.” Keep playing your wonderful music, MaryAnn!

    • Yes, Margaret. You are right. I noticed that my Dad was enjoying himself as he read to me from the book of poetry. The fact that my Dad was having so much fun was a big part of his influence in my becoming a writer. I understood–albeit on an intuitive, childlike level–that playing with words can be great fun!

      Now, as an author, I know that, indeed, it is! 🙂
