See Jeanne read her aptly named rallying cry, “Hands Off” poem this Saturday in Seattle.
Jeanne Moore
Is a dancer of the past and a poet of the present. She has studied at Hugo House in Seattle. Jeanne enjoys writing poetry that is accessible, touches the human spirit, and moves us to action. Given the current political climate, she is working on a series of Poems of Resistance.
More coming soon!
“What will it Take?”
I read a brilliant and chilling article by historian Heather Cox Richardson, who compared the history of Germany in 1930’s to present day. A friend posted it on Facebook and someone responded, “Liberal Lies! How can they be so stupid!!” I wrote this poem in response to her and some people in my own family–we all have them.
“Poems a Rising”
I recently saw the Bob Dylan movie, “A Complete Unknown” and afterward thought, “Where is our current day Bob Dylan?” We need today’s musicians to write songs of protest that we can rally around. Songs that can motivate, uplift, and unite us. “Poems a Rising” is a nod to Bob Dylan and one of his iconic songs.
“In the Game”
At an Indivisible meeting on Zoom, I saw a video of Heather Cox Richardson saying, “We need artists to get involved.” Then she said, “I’m not sure what is going to happen—it could be bad, but whatever happens, you will feel much better if you put some skin in the game.” When I got home I wrote this poem.
