Captivating poetry by @DianeRaptosh!

"I am a fractal of him, a foolish girl-twin.
The last hurrah of separation is what we’re living through.
The black egg I bear in myself"

“I shall not go to the polls. I have not registered. I believe that democracy has so far disappeared in the United States that no “two evils” exist. There is but one evil party with two names, and it will be elected despite all I can do or say.”–W.E.B. DuBois (1956)

“I want to name America my brother,
since we all see that eric stashed in
the navel of nation-state.”

In language wild and restrained, opulent and precise, these sonnets make something lasting, even beautiful, from tragedy—personal and national.

A reminder.

[Rep. Barbara Lee (Archived) @RepBarbaraLee]

The use of the death penalty in the United States is one of the ugliest stains on our broken criminal justice system.

It is disproportionately imposed against poor people and people of color.

We must abolish it once and for all.

[Jared Yates Sexton @JYSexton]

The system is rotten down to its foundations and we deserve so much damn better.

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

Abolish. The. Death. Penalty.

[DEACTIVATED @thrasherxy]

This is a sad day in an ugly country

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

The death penalty is flawed, racist, and unjust.

It has no place in America or anywhere else in the world.

Abolish it.

[Diane Raptosh @DianeRaptosh]

Happy to have a new poem in this lovely journal featuring so many terrific writers!
