FROM GRACE PALEY'S INTRODUCTION TO HER COLLECTED STORIES In 1954 or '55 / decided to write a story. I had written a few nice paragraphs with some first-class sentences in them, but I hadn't known how to let women and men into the language, nor could I find the story in those pieces of prose. I'd been writing poems since childhood. It was poetry that I read with the greatest pleasure. But in 1954 or '55 I needed to speak in some inventive way about our female and male lives in those years. Some knowledge was creating a real physical pressure, probably in the middle of my chest - maybe just to the right of the heart. I was beginning to suffer the storyteller's pain: Listen! I have to tell you something!
