[As this godawful year nears its close, we could all use some positivity. So for my annual series of wishes for the AmericanStudies Elves, I wanted to highlight hopeful figures, texts, histories, and stories we should all better remember in the new year. Leading up to a weekend post featuring a more personal hope!]
Five powerful poems to inspire us all in the new year.
1) “The Palace-Burner”
2) “Songs for the People”
3) “Let America Be America Again”
4) “Who Burns for the Perfection of Paper?”
5) “The Tradition”
Last wish tomorrow,
Ben
PS. What do you think? Texts we should better remember?
