I had thought this was for a loved one, but Meena herself succumbed to cancer in 2018.

"BIRTHPLACE WITH BURIED STONES"
– Meena Alexander
I first came across this poem as an opening to one of my advisors' essays on the social text. I've been moved since.

(Inspired by a questioner at a reading who demanded, "What use is poetry?")
