Sheila Bender is an American poet and essayist, best known for her popular books on writing instruction.
The word "journal" has in its root the word jour, French for day. A journey was the distance that could be traveled in a day. A journal, therefore, consisted of the writing one recorded per day.
We write because something inside says we must and we can no longer ignore that voice.
Poetry, like dreams, will eventually break through every person's consciousness, even the tightest iconoclast's.
