Deborah Bacharach

Personal Ad for a Mentor

Writes about what I care about—

girls, myths, spirit—or could learn

to care about—large brown bears.

Writes from a world I know—geometry

class, the unset table,

the woods—or could

make my world bigger, Iran.

Has more craft than I do but

not so much I can’t figure it out.

Big heart, big world view.

Loves to dance. Woman

preferred, but I’ll take what I get.
