RIP Grace Paley

[gwynnega]

Just saw the news that Grace Paley has passed away. She was 84.

I've loved her work since I was in my early twenties. Saw her do a wonderful reading at UCLA sometime in the 1980s.

I may post more about her later, but right now I just don't have the words.

She spoke at my college, also sometime in the 80s. I'd already read some of her work, so I was thrilled to hear her. And then I read more.

RIP, indeed.

She was truly a unique voice. I'm going to miss her...
