I wasn’t a person who loved Paris or dreamed of living here. While living in Argentina, I fell in love with British guy who lived in Paris and moved to Paris to be with him. I eventually learned Spanish, became a journalist, covered Latin America, lived in South America, and studied in Mexico. Left: Dmitry Kostyukov / Right: hifromalix I wanted to travel, learn languages, and visit foreign countries, but I never did that when I was a kid. Because of that, I was always fascinated by the world. So even though I was born to American parents in America, almost everyone around me spoke Spanish and came from Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela, or Brazil. I grew up in Miami, which as you probably know, is an immigrant city. Can you tell me a bit about where you grew up and what brought you to Paris? Left: Paris by Phone / Right: Daria Shevtsova You’re from the States originally, but you’ve travelled the world through your reporting for the Wall Street Journal. We discussed her recently released children’s rhyming book “Paris by Phone,” what initially brought her to Paris, and how she eventually became a French citizen. Originally from the States, Pamela has travelled the world throughout her career as a journalist, but ultimately decided to settle down in Paris where she’s written several books about French culture. To launch the series, I recently sat down (virtually) with Paris-based author and journalist Pamela Druckerman. Top Left: pamelaloufti / Right: Dmitry Kostyukov

The time is NOW for hidden secrets to be revealed and usher in the new beginning. Skratz, co-author with Darrel Gray of Everything Else Decades ago, Pamela taught my then-teenaged kids to hear the language of deer. In these pages you’ll meet Maria and visit Pamela’s beloved Pomo Indians, but you’ll also hear what spiders are telling us. Pamela Stone Singer is a lifelong apprentice of elder poets…most importantly, the Mazatec curandera and oral poet, Maria Sabina…but also of whomever, whatever life throws her way. –Lorin Smith (Lazy Bear), Kashia Pomo elder and spiritual leader Then I saw a small flock of birds, all different, bright colors, like tropical birds but all different colors and they flew in front of me into a tree and they were like light in the tree.
I was lost in a part of the forest I did not know and it was getting darker and darker. I recommend this and future books of Pamela Stone Singer
My concerns for the earth were mirrored in a quirky intense sensitivity to life that I also have. I read one of Pam’s poems then read more. –Gwynn O’Gara, Sonoma County Poet Laureate, 2010-2012ĭelightful to find healing poems that actually speak to me, a non-poetry lover
