Journal I

Submitted by pamela gassman on Tue, 01/29/2013 - 3:21pm.

I am one of the privileged.

I have breathed out sentences -

And eaten words. My eyes

Were never lonely as a child.

My curiosity was sated

With stories.

This poem is meant to explore the aspects of literacy in my childhood; from a distinct memory I have of my mother reading me Harry Potter to learning how to read on my bed. It examines the idea that I grew up in a home with access and exposure to literacy.
