I have been listening to Krista Tippett’s  “On Being ” podcasts on Apple Podcasts and for over a year I have listened to Ricardo Blanco, a Cuban-American from Miami, who presented a poem for Obama’s 2013 Inauguration. I loved the three poems he quotes from “How To Love a Country,” which I will give you here. This, hopefully,  can take us through Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and into the coming crisis of Presidential transition that is worrying us right now.  But do yourself a favor and go on https://onbeing.org/poetry/complaint-of-el-rio-grande/ and listen to him read them himself.
