Many members of the Work Day\/Hard Times Poetry List have emailed this morning; they remind me, as do the 4 poems we\u2019ve prepared for tonight\u2019s class session (on the teachings of Catherine McAuley and St. Ignatius on prayer) – – remind me of the List\u2019s mission statement that I wrote in 2013. \u00a0 That 2013 Mission Statement \u2014 written during Detroit\u2019s bankruptcy troubles and before those hard times had turned toward hope. \u00a0We have posted hundreds of strong poems over these years.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s\u00a04 poems\u00a0(which we prepared for our online class today) read with such an apt presence for these Election Day tensions that I decided to post them, not only for the online students but also for the c. 2600 readers to whom we dedicate each poem over these many years.<\/p>\n

Have a blest day; \u00a0best to read the mission statement out loud, as if it were itself a strong poem. \u00a0Today\u2019s four poems fit the mission statement, spot on.<\/p>\n
