3 Confessions from the Streets
New Works from Poets Li-Young Lee and Tracy K. Smith
As we move into the heart of the holiday season, this month’s issue of Bearings explores—and troubles—a quintessential holiday practice: sharing. Darleen Pryds takes her cues from a family of mourning doves on her front porch who share lessons on loss and new life. Paul Blankenship reveals the teachings shared by people living on the streets. In our Commentary section, Ron Culmer reflects on practices of neighborliness as healing gifts. And poet Ellen McGrath Smith brings the poetry of Tracy K. Smith and Li-Young Lee to our Creative Insights section. Join them in this season of waiting and hoping for divine gifts of wonder, joy, and possibility that await us.
