@davidatkinsonpoet.bsky.socialToday is #NationalPoetryDay. It’s also #BlackHistoryMonth
This reminds us that poetry is not an abstract art form - but something lived, overheard, dug up, carried, and spoken.
Poetry belongs to everyone
It is community, witness, survival. It is interest in one another.
