The Literary Sipper Talks 3 Poems for This Time

When I am unsure of what’s to come, I turn to poetry. When I feel sad, I turn to poetry. When I feel lost, in love, overburdened, underwhelmed, dazzled or dreary, I turn to poetry.

After the election, these three poems filled the void.

1. Anne Waldman’s “Crack in the World”

2. Maggie Smith’s “Good Bones”

3. Nikki Grimes’ “You Still Dream”

What poems have you turned to this November?
