This writer makes quite an assumption. It is very rare for a person to continue down one path an entire lifetime. We go through shifts and changes, and that is how we grow.<br /><br />By the way, I love Gwendolyn Brooks, so I might be partial, but her poetry speaks to me, and for me that defines great poetry.<br /><br />Thanks for putting my poetry blog among your links Carol :-)M.
