Poetry To Go
by Christopher Yarsawich

Our lives are too busy, distracted and dissatisfying. Art can jolt us back to the moment, to the simple joy of living. Poetry especially awakens my “mind’s attention from the lethargy of custom, and directing it to the loveliness and the wonders of the world before us.” Here I share with the universe those poems that for me best peel away “the film of familiarity and selfish solicitude,” pointing a way back to the life more abundant.
