“The final lines of one of Edna St. Vincent Millay's sonnets ... have stayed with me as a valuable standard against which to measure my motives when I write and teach hoping to keep my work relational, and to do it with a servant's heart: 'Love in the open hand, nothing but that ungemmed, unhidden, wishing not to hurt, as one would give you cowslips in a hat swung from the hand, or apples in her skirt, I bring you, calling out, as children do, 'Look what I have! - And these are all for you.”
