It’s not just the Odyssey effect: poetry is booming because it’s the only language for these times of violence and chaos | Charlotte Higgins

When Reagan was president?

It depends. Here, it gives the poem a breathless kind of rhythm. I just read it aloud a couple of times. At first it felt a bit chunky, then hard and fast; it built up speed. In other words, it worked.

Are you a poet? I am inspired and want to use this, but will give you full credit.

Asking "where is our humanity is a good question," but what we need now is concrete action. Could you point us in the right direction? Where is this school and what is the news source? Some organizations might help point the way: www.freedomforimmigrants.org/take-action
