Natasha Trethewey Quotes:
Ocupation: Poet
Life: b. April 26, 1966
Birthday: April 26
My own journey in becoming a poet began with memory - with the need to record and hold on to what was being lost. One of my earliest poems, Give and Take, was about my Aunt Sugar, how I was losing her to her memory loss.
