Under Pressure
Take Care by Michael D. Higgins
The President of Ireland is a poet of some acclaim. He published this today on the official Facebook page of his office. Pretty sure this is a first for me, linking to Facebook, but I thought it was worth sharing under the current circumstances.
Patriarch of Pandemics
I just read this article on Demystifying Science about the 1918 influenza pandemic. It’s an interesting perspective given the current situation with COVID-19.
Redemption Song
I’d heard that Redemption Song had a relationship to an idea expressed by Marcus Garvey. But I didn’t know that the speech in question was apparently given in Nova Scotia.
Another interesting link between Jamaica and Canada.
