Anne Lamott talks about shaking our heads…
“…and even make us laugh…”
“When writers make us shake our heads
with the exactness of their prose and their truths,
and even make us laugh about ourselves or life…”
Anne Lamott (b1954)
in Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life
p. 237
The “exactness” part is the hard part.
I try to make the meaning of my poems so clear that they wake up your mind.
Then you can laugh about it, shout about it…
