What Sparks Poetry:
David Baker on "The Telling"
"I stood there at the glacier and felt deep below my feet the world moving and the ice dying. Glaciers melt from the bottom, and from within, as they creep along inexorably toward lower ground and, eventually, toward oceans and seas. How to write about such things? How can a small lyric poem begin to suggest the complexities of the subject and this place? I guess the answer is, how can we not try?" |

Historic Status for Robert Hayden's Home
"After many months of consideration, Ann Arbor has decided to honor a late Black couple who broke racial barriers several decades ago. City Council voted 9-0 this week to grant historic status to the house at 1201 Gardner Ave. where poet Robert Hayden, the University of Michigan English department’s first Black faculty member, once lived with his wife Erma."
