We received a comment from Isabel who knew the second poem that Liz Smith read at the Poetry and the Creative Mind gala. It is Let America Be America Again by Langston Hughes. She introduced it by saying that Michelle and Barack Obama could make it their mantra in this election year.
Thank you Isabel for your note and the information. Check out Isabel’s blog which she’s called A Room of One’s Own and marries her beautiful photos with lots of poetry. Just lovely!
