we've learned by heart, under a sky so familiar we wear it on our shoulders like a cloak, the little Paisano house gleams in the distance like a lantern, so much home we wish we never had to let it go."Sandra Cisneros (Fellow, 1985)
"After I left Paisano, I ended up leaving the city and moving into the country for good. I had learned so much from both the solitude and company there: that what's best for a work of art is for the artist to be both comfortable and unsettled, at the same time; and that a strong place makes the work stronger."
