FULL SERVICE POET

Seeing the anguish on both sides of war, anger turns to futility and compassion turns to constructive action.

Here’s a diptych of poems on that theme, published this week in the RavensPerch: “How to Read a Poem about War/How to Hear a Poem in War”

That was inspired by Joy Harjo’s “How to Write a Poem in a Time of War.“

Here’s another: “Drone of Normalization.”

And one asking if war, once started, is ever really over: “War Solved Nothing.”

Let’s choose peace, y’all.
