About

Poet, writer, and educator, Sandra Squire Fluck is known for her love of books. She was born into a military family and traveled whenever and wherever her father was transferred. During these travels after sunset, she was also known to finish the novels she was reading with a flashlight in hand. She has written poetry, stories, plays, and essays since she was young, but during her college years poetry seemed to come unbidden and has become a lifelong calling.

On this 32nd anniversary of Tiananmen Square, I remember Liu Xiaobo. He was a visiting scholar at Columbia University at the time and returned to Beijing to be a part of the protest. He was then imprisoned for 18 months for his part in the movement, after which he lost his teaching job and his writings were banned. He continued to write for two more decades and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in December 2010. In 2012 Perry Link et al. published No Enemies, No Hatred: Selected Essays and Poems, the first English translation of Liu Xiaobo's collective writings. His work is deeply affecting. ⠀

Posted @withregram • @thewritelaunch “Before writing, there was song. Before story, there was poetry. Today, poets write blank verse, free verse, ballad, sonnet, haiku, ode, and elegy, all suffused with the characteristic language of image, metaphor, simile, personification, paradox, irony, and hyperbole. Babies, children, teenagers, and adults listen to the rhythmic lines of the poet’s imaginative worlds—laughing, sighing, crying, smiling—and hear the distinctive poetic beat. They know this is poetry.” - @sandrafluck
