Poet Will Harris on Free Will and Politics
"We live under an economic system that reproduces suffering and curtails its expression, sentimentalising certain forms of suffering and making others invisible. I guess that’s puzzling. Every day we give our passive (and active) consent to a state empowered to make violence a necessary precondition of its continuing being."

What Sparks Poetry:
M. L. Smoker on "Heart Butte, Montana"
"It is then next to impossible for me to ignore the echoes that reverberate from beneath and across the earth’s surface. There is both a human and non-human story here. Such places formed by millennia, marked by water and ice, light and dark. Of shifting rock and the new formation of land, plateau, mountain range. Humans were taken in and the land cared for us—we were gifted survival and song by our plant and animal family." |
