Loving hearing more about your journey (wow to living in Spain!) and appreciate the prompts at the end. I especially loved the 1997 poem - the opening about crows asking a question decades too early (genius) and the vivid descriptions were lovely.

"the past is a foreign country we can write about with a lot of detail, emotion, and knowledge."

Couldn't agree more. It also seems to me that there's an ideal time to lay out the past in our writing—after enough time has passed so that some clarity presents itself, but not so long that the details have been forgotten. (Unfortunately, though, I often feel like I miss the deadline.)
