Reading poetry continues to be a comfort to a soul.
Sometimes, history facts and events, testimonies
only could be found in poems.
Maya Angelou expressed her sympathy to wounded souls
by saying loud her iconic phrase:
"I know why the caged bird sings."
Poetry celebration extended to celebrate
many documentaries, aspirational,
and necessary contributions to the culture.
"April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers."
(T. E. Eliot Foundation, 2022
from the "Wast Land" and other poems)
