Honorable Mentions
in the classroom –
sharing the globe
with a refugee
– Dan Iulian
I admire the economy of this poem. There is no sense of stretch between the various ways in which "sharing the globe" can be understood. That is to say, beyond the immediate context of the classroom, all the aspects of sharing our world: tangibly in terms of physical resources, and less obviously through our evolution and ancestry, the migration of languages and ideas––in total what we might term our common humanity.
