Lorna Dee Cervantes: Sometimes I Get the Feeling

I'm supposed to look like this:

Rosario Castellanos - poeta Chiapaneca
La Suprema

Unknown said...: Count your lucky stars ... at least you don't have to look like Jorge Borges :P

I think people expect me to look like either Ram Dass or Allen Ginsberg ... and when I let the beard grow out, I'm mistaken for Jerry Garcia, even though he's dead ... LOL; 4/10/05 16:26
Lorna Dee Cervantes said...: Actually and unfortunately there is a resemblance. I once had the honor of meeting him and shaking his hand and I was struck by how much he looked like my grandfather; Give me time.

Jerry Garcia? There are worse people to look like. Me? I'd love to be mistaken for the dead.

Hope you're doing alright. You know my thoughts have been with you and yours. I'll be collecting books for NOLA cw students, what can you use?; 6/10/05 14:11
