Epistemology | DeeSoul Carson here is so much to be learned from children. This weekend, a girl in Central Park - gowned in a ruffled cerulean dress her mother certainly wanted to keep clean - was packing dirt into a water bottle and the dirt was everything. ❡

We are saddened by the loss of poetry powerhouse and contributor to Poets in Print, Monica Rico. Monica read for our series in 2018. We treasure that event as we treasure her clear-cutting poems that grapple with Michigan environmental and social landscapes, family, birds, the culinary world, and all the wonders in between. Here's the broadside for her poem, "Yes, in 1952 White Teachers Made Their Students Stand Up and Tell the Class What Their Fathers Did for a Living.” ✨✨✨ Rest in light, dear Monica.
