After spending two days with Mexican poet Homero Aridjis in the desert, I am more convinced than ever THAT WE NEED POETS, MYSTICS, & ARTISTS, to truly restore our common home.
I am humbled by the beauty & breadth of his work on behalf of nature, cultures, and the many marginalized by how this world currently works.
If you do not know Homero’s work, you might want to begin with The Child Poet from Archipelago Books, translated from the Spanish by his daughter Chloe, or with the more recent Solar Poems.
As Seamus Heany once said, Homero’s poems “open a door into light.”
