Emancipation Through Poetry
In the summer of 2020, as protests against racism spread throughout the country, former U.S. Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith began to view her work differently. She started seeing her own poetry as part of something bigger, a continuation of generations of Black poets who had used their words as proof of their own humanity for centuries. In honor of Juneteenth, Tracy K. Smith shares some of her favorite works from Black poets as well as one of her own.
You can read more poetry from Tracy K. Smith at the Poetry Foundation and more of Ross Gay's work can be found at Split This Rock's poetry database.

Great News Podcast
This podcast is great in that it is brief and reports clearly with reliable sources and unbiased content. Love keeping up using Up First and listen to it daily to start my morning routine.
Five stars
Such a great way to catch up on the news. I’m in NZ - and listen first thing in the morning to hear about what’s happened while I was asleep.
Very helpful
I listen to this everyday, and they give in depth analysis of a few issues. I find it very useful.
