As poets, we write about a breadth of experiences and our stories. Poetry, like all art, helps us notice things around us–in particular, the things we can celebrate. That’s where the form of Odes come in. We wrote odes this week at Darwin, sharing the things that we celebrate.
Here are this week’s featured poets!
