Snippet:
It Helps to Look at
Old Front Page Headlines
by Marilyn Nelson
The earthquakes, the militias. History
hairpins and switchbacks like a mountain road.
Things fall apart, no doubt. But good people wake
every day to thank, and to ask what they can do
today to make things better. People call
things back together when they choose to act
on behalf of our planet and all life
spinning with us on her around the sun.
Hear the entire poem in this Poetry Month video from First Book.
It’s Nonfiction Monday!
