Spring in Boston is errant piles of melting snow, crocuses and daffodils bravely stretching their heads into the crisp air, and trees with bare limbs looking like legions of ladies in sleeveless tops.
Today, I held the third Four Chairs & a Bench writing session—two poets and two novelists made for a bit of balance around the table.

Instead of writing a poem every day, I am posting a poem that I love every day via Instagram. Here are the first eight poems.
Day 1: “won’t you celebrate with me” by Lucille Clifton
Day 2: “I’m Rooting for Everybody Black” by Cortney Lamar Charleston
Day 3: Absence by Pablo Neruda
Day 4: “You will hear thunder” by Anna Akhmatova
Day 5: Heart to Heart by Rita Dove
Day 6: I Ask My Mother to Sing by Li-Young Lee
Day 7: Morningside Park by Wanda Coleman
Day 8: Those Winter Sundays by Robert Hayden
