Sara Barkat
I like my tea black (with a special love for Indian chai) and my novels long (give me sci-fi, fantasy, or 19th century to make me especially happy!)—though I’m always exploring beyond my known universe and will drink greens, reds, and oolongs, and read almost any genre or style that crosses my table. Speaking of the universe, I have a passion for learning about anything from black holes to the mysteries of time. When I’m not sitting by the window, sharing the sun with our little lemon tree, I can be found making lemon cupcakes and other confections, creating art (pen and ink, intaglio, and Prismacolors, please) or moving through the world on the toes of ballet or jazz dance.

Sara, you just made my night.

Love that left hand and wrist in the “I never lost mine” frame.
Sonnet, sestina, villanelle . . . so hard to get ’em all straight. 🙂

I keep coming back to that “I never lost mine” line — I’ve interviewed so many drivers. If I had a nickle for every time I’ve heard “I’ve been driving for 57 years and I’ve never had a ticket…”

Yeah, I loved that play on the word “license,” since she’s talking about her poetic license but we know the stories in real life. 🙂
This lady though? I believe her. I can only imagine the teleutons she gave our poor Poet 🙂

She doesn’t drive a Volvo, does she?
