In my lifetime I have seen democracy begin to expand, not only to include those who have been excluded, but to provide a listening arena, a vocabulary, an intelligent reception for stories that have been buried. Not just stories of the disenfranchised and the marginalized, but marginalized and disenfranchised histories even in the lives of the accepted and the privileged.

Poetry is a good medium for revolutionary hope.

Perhaps every moment of time lived in human consciousness remains in the air around us.

Society, like nature, is one body, really.
