Indivisible: Poems for Social Justice<\/a> Booktalk:<\/strong> America is not easy. It\u2019s a land of high ideals and stirring icons, but it is also a land of harsh realities. We celebrate the incredible achievements of individuals as we turn our gaze from hunger and homelessness in the streets. We have a difficult time matching our words with our deeds. This is where poetry comes in. A poem has the ability to personalize the ideal, to make it tangible in a way that a speech or news report cannot. It can widen the angle through which we view society. It can move us to action. The poems in this anthology do just that: confront, challenge, and inspire. They take us on a journey toward social justice, starting in the shadows and slowly working our way home.<\/p>\n Snippet:<\/strong> The news you don’t get at home This week’s Poetry Friday Round-up is hosted by Check it Out<\/a>.<\/p>\n Copyright \u00a9 2014 Anastasia Suen<\/a> All Rights Reserved.
