Syntax and Whole Meaning

Part One

Here’s a little wish I recorded for you on election day, November 5, 2024, before I knew the results of the election. I wasn’t particularly hopeful either way, but I was thinking about us all and thinking about how art saves lives and poetry is certainly saving me these days. Also, “the fall” has many connotations, doesn’t it, as we witness the dying and fall of democracy in real time? Please find your community, my friends; reach out hands in solidarity to those most impacted by the rise of fascism, and write your poems of grief and love.
