"Grace” an occasional poem in progress /May 2019
I read “Grace,” an occasional poem (in progress) commissioned by the Harvard Divinity School’s Commencement 2019, team on May 29, 2019 in Memorial Church in Harvard Yard. I had only a few weeks during finals to work on the it—I accepted the “assignment” just before finals! The poem is precious to me because it is dedicated to my Harvard Divinity School community. I believe we need more occasional poetry in the public sphere. The entire service is worth watching. My short poem-in-progress comes at the 53:33 mark — just before the address offered by public philosopher Dr. Cornel West.
You can read two poems from Meatland (in progress) here in ballast, 1.4.
