In the aftermath
of the presidential election, a lot of people are turning to – poetry. Ann
Kroeker suggests that when you don’t know what to say, try poetry. And the
seven poems below (unusually high number of the listings here) seems to bear
that out.
Joe Carter at
The Gospel Coalition says the majority of American evangelicals did not vote
for Donald Trump. A writer for the London Review of Books took a look at the election
numbers, and came away with some surprising conclusions (like how many people
who voted for President Obama in 2012 voted for Trump in 2016). And Jon Mertz
at Thin Difference has some good advice for how you can be preparing for the
unprepared.
Tim Good has two
photos about the morning. Jack Baumgartner not only create beautiful wooden
objects; he also takes wonderful photos of wood objects. Neil Ennis, a cyclist
in Queensland, Australia, organizes weekly rides in some incredible terrain and
takes pictures to show what they did and saw.
And Laura
Boggess has an article about the value of fiction.
