    WHAT BROKE MY HEART WAS NOT THE DAY THAT I LEFT HOME AT TWELVE YEARS OLD, which to me now is nothing but a distant memory.

What broke my heart was not the time when the boy in Caïman Lane, not too far from…

Bradstreet’s poem reflects her Puritan belief of simplicity in order to focus on God. Although I would never want to experience the loss Bradstreet did, I value the point that she…
