Defiance
2River is a big fan of Sally Van Doren, so it was special to see her poem “Defiance” today at Writer’s Almanac.
What makes her poem at Writer’s Almanac more special is that it first appeared here in The 2River View.
And most special is that the following video with Van Doren reading the poem appeared here way back on Muddy Bank.
