The Writer's Almanac from Friday, August 2, 2013
The Declaration of Independence was luckiLEE signed on this date…
This author is so different than Oliver. She, gentle, quiet, easy. But this author is really wonderful. I love his last stanza.
And then you walk, sun-blinded,
into the slow and bitter understanding
that all this life and all its heart-sick wonder
is just the following of a wall
ridged with bright shards of broken glass.
Can you let us know the source of the information about James Baldwin and quotes you used?
