On The Road: Ninety Miles with Jennifer Grafiada

A pause of poetry at the Southernmost Point.

Oh Havana
Coffee-colored dreams of rainy streets
Boys playing with balls
La Playa Santa Maria
If only I could get to you
And your people could come to me

Liz Parkin and Marguerite Feet

Blood red nails.

Their feet
Mine dirty
Painted toes
El gusto
Flor

Langston Hughes Implores Us to Let America Be America Again

Mural on Harlem wall where Langston Hughes was a leader of the Harlem Renaissance.

Let America be America again.
Let it be the dream it used to be.
Let it be the pioneer on the plain
Seeking a home where he himself is free.
