Nina Jo Smith - Justice Sestina

11. “Justice Sestina” (Nina Jo Smith Redwood River Music (BMI))
Poem/ Spoken Word - Serious tone.
Inspired by the story of Christian Cooper, who became known as the Central Park Birder. I was challenged to write a sestina during lockdown. This one occupied me during some dark times. Racism is America’s darkest, worst-kept secret. I think it’s important to shine a light on it.
