The Making of a Matriot
The Making of a Matriot | Frances Payne Adler
2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
"If national defense is the issue, why not as poet-activist Frances Payne Adler suggests, a national defense budget that defends the people through affordable health, education, and shelter for everyone?" Adrienne Rich. "These poems touch explore the core of human existence the wars, the illnesses, but also the love, the courage, the defiance, of which her own writing is an example. Her definition of 'matriot' alone makes it worthwhile opening the book"

"Language is being altered
in the West Wing of the White House,
ordnances are being sortied.
Empty of consequence.
Ordnances are no longer bombs,
they don't fall on flesh, they don't
tear open the skulls of women and men
rushing for shelter, they don't
empty the faces of children,
or crush bodies
carrying the small lives
of people like us"
-"Blood Wash" by Frances Payne Adler, as relevant now as it was when it was published in 1991.
