Hi beautiful people,
In honor of National Poetry Month, here are some lovely poems to get you through the week.
Poems, poems, poems
Spit a Verse, Drop Some Knowledge x NPR’s Code Switch
I saw Emmett Till this week at the grocery store x Eve L. Ewing
Field Trip to the Museum of Human History x Franny Choi
a note on the body x Danez Smith
Twenty-One Love Poems [Poem III] x Adrienne Rich
To the Young Who Want to Die x Gwendolyn Brooks
Sorrow Is Not My Name x Ross Gay
And, of course, this week’s stan moment.
Also, you may have noticed I changed the publication name and URL of the newsletter. I’m still playing around with things, but I think I’ll stick with this for a while. I love my name—might as well do it justice.
As always, share this newsletter with a loved one if you feel so inclined! Additionally, there’s a lot of intention and care in those poems; send one to a friend or a family member or a crush and bask in the sweetness :) Speak life into your people.
Enjoy the sunshine, lovelies! Happy Spring.
