Gretna lives with passion. She's a worthy subject of Breathing in Spanish.

Would love to read your citizenship moment here too, Marlena

She is full of fun and there is tragedy and sadness too. The challenge is to hold on to joy somehow, insist on living.

An amazing interview. I loved reading about this poet’s journey, her unique childhood, and her accomplishments. I share her feelings that our country, even with its faults, has so much good to celebrate. Thanks Marlena.
