A Festival of Poets, Bill Moyers, David Abrams, Lucille Clifton, PBS, Poetry began quote, poets of color, Sunday Sentence, The Language of Life, women poets

imagesMy weekly contribution to David Abrams’ “Sunday Sentence” project in which participants share the best sentence read during the past week “out of context and without commentary.”

Poetry began when somebody walked off a savanna or out of a cave and looked up at the sky with wonder and said, “Ah-h-h!”
