Poetry We Admire: Dedications

“This National Poetry Month, we turn to poems of Dedication, written for, written after.”

“the gun untouchable / the wound her eyes / the wound her squint / the wound her death”

“my people are too tired of being killed / to give two shits about lexicons.”

“This March, we reflect on the work of Ukrainian poets, and what resistance means in poetry.”

“i am an enemy of dust / I am an amalgamation of everyone i have ever loved”

“there’s power / in obtaining / obedience / of a language / that was once / command.”

“Here, [take/trick] all of the things I can’t [brandish/burnish],”

“maybe / the gnawing & / chomping / we will go through / will be our loved ones / greeting us / on the other side”

“to, just for a moment, / inhale the air of this earth / and feel how the juice / from the orange wets our hands”
