It is tempting to fall into silence when confronted with people whose attitudes and choices are so much different than your own. For example, we know that Richard Spencer and Jason Kessler, leaders of the alt-right movement, are planning to have another rally and march, similar to the one they had at Charlottesville where Heather […]

“Pithy and powerful, poetry is a popular art form at protests and rallies. From the civil rights and women’s liberation movements to Black Lives Matter, poetry is commanding enough to gather crowds in a city square and compact enough to demand attention on social media. Speaking truth to power remains a crucial role of the poet […]
When I die, bury my body amid a pile of leaves, then go home. Plant clematis vines along fences, fill the rest of your yard with only native flowers that will desire compost— tend them lovingly, as though you had cared for me. —Michael Dickel ©2007 This poem is in the forthcoming collection of Michael […]

Thank you for your lovely lily and good wishes. My family never celebrated Easter as a religious holiday, but we always dyed eggs which were “mysteriously” hidden with chocolates and jelly beans which we had to search for on Sunday morning. So many memories.
