This Women’s History Month we interviewed Dr. Maria Montero, a Latina working towards ending blindness for women. Dr. Montero is an ophthalmologist and surgeon for Orbis’ Flying Eye Hospital, an aircraft that travels the world to prevent blindness. Blindness is a gendered issue, with 112 million more women than men living with vision loss, including blindness.

In “Haiku and Tanka for Harriet Tubman,” Sonia Sanchez presents a series of vibrant fragments that urges the speaker and reader together “Imagine” and “Picture” moments in the life of Harriet Tubman. The poem is comprised of a string of haiku and tanka, ancient Japanese forms that here, through sequence and white space and silence, trace the shape of a life. Haiku and tanka are both known for their compression, vivid imagery, and juxtaposition.
