Poetry Month 2025

 

This NPM, I will be writing acrostic poems using words from the Banned Words List at the Pen America Website.

It's up to us to keep the truth in American history, and in science. It's up to us to keep reading, thinking, and being as gloriously weird as possible. We must push back against the urge to obey in advance and we must defend our institutions. We must not let someone else dictate the language we choose to tell our stories, name our cultures and landmarks, and prevent us from telling all kinds of truths. I'll do my small part by keeping some of the "banned" words in circulation by using them to write acrostic poems.
