The article features a poignant poem by Bridget Huh, an MFA poetry candidate at Cornell University.

She uses vivid imagery to express admiration and connection, promising to always write through adversity. The piece highlights the transformative power of poetry in creating understanding and presence between people, underscoring her belief that the purpose of language is to connect and reassure others.
What is my language really for? Not to languish on the page unheard & unlived, but to hold another person, to address them.
I promise to write to you through disaster, in the face of violences sudden & slow - I promise to never let you go.
