Thanks to our colleague Anne Holmes, of the Library’s Poetry and Literature Center, for this post.

Register now for this webinar!

Join us for an engaging and generative teacher-focused conversation on “Living Nations, Living Words,” U.S. Poet Laureate Joy Harjo’s signature project. Leading the discussion will be specialists from the Library of Congress and members of the National Council of Teachers of English and the National Council for the Social Studies.

“Living Nations, Living Words” shows, through poetry, that Native people and poets have vital and unequivocal roots in the United States. The digital project features an ArcGIS StoryMap, which integrates an interactive national map of 47 contemporary Native poets, and connects to a newly developed Library of Congress audio collection featuring the participating poets reading and discussing their original poems.

This session is co-hosted by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) and the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS).

    Stone walls do not a prison make….

    They make a great border wall though

    Frost said and I mistakenly quoted Frost to my neighbor. God .Fences Make Good Neighbors, something to that effect

    I am anxious to write a poem, he but dozed through my chain link fenced and buried my trees trunk and tree roots under his two feet of border fill

    Lots of thoughts… feelings … hate to sue but….

    Thanks
