from the review of "Say Her Name."    Francisco Goldman revives her through the only power left to him.  So remarkable is this resurrection that at times I felt the book itself had a pulse.  Throughout the book, he furiously attempts to hold on to what can be kept: mittens, hats, rings, as if they have the power to anchor him to the world."


If I could create something, a song, a book, a film that would resurrect you, that would be my greatest accomplishment.

I pray to create something to revive you.

I pray for you to be known in this world and the next.


Maybe it's enough that I knew you.
