Bertolt Brecht was a German playwright and poet who fled Nazi Germany in the 1930's. In different translations, this poem's title is sometimes "To Those Born After" and "wrongdoing" is often "misdeeds" or "horrors." No matter how it's translated, I feel this deep in my bones.

Beautiful

Our colleagues at Gettysburg Review have received some devastating news. It’s alarming for the literary community as a whole, & the SLM fam encourages everyone to voice their thoughts to the university that defunded them. All our voices matter! More info in this pic (thx @bullcitypress.bsky.social!)

Matt is a real-life human resource book. Can't recommend his newletter enough
