Writing Her Corner of the Sky
Gwendolyn Brooks writes, in her poem "Corners of the Curving Sky," "[W]e must choose how we separately corner / The circling universe of our experience. / Once chosen, our cornering will determine / The message of any star and darkness we encounter." Together, we will explore sample poems that address national and global issues/events, then each sharpen the focus of our poetic lens to craft political poems that are ardently local and personal.
