Richard Blanco and Nicole Tallman keep the arts on par with pride.

This and beyond, let us pierce the dark political climate with light and love. *Love Is for All of Us: Poems of Tenderness & Belonging* is a testament to resilience and the enduring power of poetry to affirm belonging. I’m grateful to have written the foreword, and to James Crews and his husband, Brad Peacock, for inviting me to contribute a few poems and join the chorus of such stellar poets: Andrea Gibson, Ellen Bass, Nikita Gill, Mark Doty, Audre Lorde, Gabrielle Calvocoressi, Danez Smith, Joy Ladin, Carl Phillips, Li-Young Lee, and more. https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/james-crews/love-is-for-all-of-us/9781635868951/
