Poem by one of my teachers/mentors, John Engman. He left us way too soon. He’s probably looking down and saying ‘heh’ at the state of things.

Did I write a poem inspired by a Taylor Swift song that’s in an anthology of poems inspired by Taylor Swift songs? I sure did! Join us for the launches on December 3rd & 4th!

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

A poem by Langston Hughes titled "Tired". It reads as the following: "I am so tired of waiting, Aren't you, For the world to become good And beautiful and kind? Let us take a knife And cut the world in two -- And see what worms are eating At the rind."
