Karisa Had to look up what an “acrostic golden shovel” meant. 🤯 Gorgeous and brilliant! Reminds me of one of my favorites (that always makes me cry): https://poets.org/poem/let-america-be-america-again 1d

CBee @Karisa thank you for the link to the Hughes poem! I‘d never read it. Would you mind if I make a post about it? Something I think everyone should read ♥️💔 (edited) 1d
Karisa @CBee Go for it! Re-reading it this morning and it feels more spot on than ever unfortunately 1d

lil1inblue @Karisa I should have included the definition. Oops! Funny that you shared Let America be America Again - My grandfather and my mom used to read this together every 4th of July! Now my mom and I read it together. It always makes me cry, too. 💓 1d

Vacation poetry, part 2. “But we are strange trees, reluctant in this / forest.” Michael Kleber-Diggs does not avert his gaze from what lies before us, and does not allow us to look away, either. This is a searing, serious, exquisite book.
