I have to prepare for my first book party tomorrow (SUNDAY) at Borderlands Books 2-4 PM in San Francisco’s Mission District. But I need to continue National Poetry Writing Month, so I’m offering yet another Twitter Poem, adding line breaks. This is my response to a Tweet from Sofia Samatar when she asked in general what is now the title to this poem.
Who Are Your People?
My people are poets
& singers, teachers
& readers, dancers
& dreamers,
& all those
who choose
to fight hate
with hugs.
