There was an Amendment,the FirstIts words gave us freedom to burst out in a song or poem so longthe government can’t punish as cursed. That limerick probably won’t be taught in any college poetry-writing classes. But it does show one thing about the First Amendment: It protects your right to write, recite and read your favorite poems. Like songs, movies, books and the clothes you wear, creating and consuming poetry is protected free speech under the First Amendment.

As poets, we are most often attentive and lifelong students of the body. An observation as simple as a bruise blooming from impact on an injured knee can elicit images of the cosmos: the blues, greens, purples, and blacks of trapped blood beneath the skin creating images of galactic clusters and celestial unknowns. We use the body as a vehicle for exploration, transformation, and meaning making, even through periods of uncertainty.

Poetry is a unique medium open to interpretation that allows people to bring their own insights and experiences to bear on the poem. The best poets take advantage of this by creating work that will resonate with different people for different reasons. They tackle issues of life, death, love, grief and more to connect personally with the reader.

As two queer women who spearhead this monthly series, Pride month selections are always special. It’s a chance to create more visibility around our own community, and to invite people in. In a time when LGBTQ+ rights are still being debated and fought over, it feels especially important to shine a light on underrepresented voices, and to share the stories we tell about ourselves.

Would you hear of an old-time sea-fight?
Would you learn who won by the light of the moon and stars?
List to the yarn, as my grandmother’s father the sailor told it to me.
Our foe was no skulk in his ship I tell you, (said he,)
His was the surly English pluck, and there is no tougher or truer, and never was, and never will be;
Along the lower’d eve he came horribly raking us.
We closed with him, the yards entangled, the cannon touch’d,
My captain lash’d fast with his own hands.

These annual trips were born out of the struggle of life and death. Each chapter is a different verse of a love song reflecting those origins: "I've lived! I'm alive! There will be no regrets!"I feel equal parts Thoreau, Hemingway, and Abbey as I write to you this Saturday afternoon. Our casita is cozy, but we spend most of our day on the shaded porch. We hike between five and six miles at dawn.
