8. Catherine of Bologna ca. 1453 At fourteen I was sent to serve at court. I pray I'd be freed from that privilege into the privilege of poverty: to embrace penance and constant fasting, invited with my sisters to the dance of chaste devotion. Thus I prayed at court, listening over my embroidery. My maiden heart beat with a constant plea: Show me thy face, Lord; Lord, show me thy face…. …then silence, then doubt, and finally, revelation. An ambassador for poetry in America, Marilyn Nelson has been awarded the Poetry Society of America's Frost Medal for distinguished lifetime achievement in poetry (2012).
