Minnie Bruce Pratt Quotes:

Ocupation: Educator

Life: b. September 12, 1946

Birthday: September 12

I began to write poetry again in 1975, when I fell in love with another woman. I returned to poetry not because I had “become a lesbian”—but because I had returned to my own body after years of alienation. The sensual details of life are the raw materials of a poet—and with that falling-in-love I was able to return to living fully in my own fleshly self.
