Thatâs what I liked about it -- even at the end of the movie, people have still got all their shit. Itâs not going to be happily ever after. Greg (Rick Springfield), Ricki (Meryl Streep) and Julie (Mamie Gummer) in TriStar Pictures' Ricki and the Flash. In a recent interview, you said that you felt like you still weren â t taken seriously as a musician.
The plaque at the base of the Statue of Liberty reads: Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. These lines are from the poem The New Colossus, written by Emma Lazarus in 1883. There is also a plaque with this same quote at the Statue of Liberty Museum.
Golden Shovel Poems. There is a poem nestled in my email each morning. Itâs the Poem-A-Day from the National Academy of Poets. I often skip it by, moving into the more urgent emails first. And then the day goes by without reading the poem. One of my resolutions for 2014 is to actually read the poem first. Todayâs poem is from Camilla Dungy and follows the Golden Shovel acrostic form created/popularized* by Terrance Hayes. Hayes used the words from Gwendolyn Brooksâ poem We Real Cool as the last word in each line to create his poem The Golden Shovel. Dungy also used Brooksâ poem to write Because it looked hotter that way.
