Amanda Gorman Instagram – Reposted from @nytopinion: “Refugees and migrants dying while trying to cross the Mediterranean in search of safety is not new,” writes the poet @amandascgorman on the recent capsizing of the Adriana off the coast of Greece. “By writing an elegy through the words of history, I hope to unearth, or unwater, the dead from beneath a mass of waves.” In an @nytopinion essay and a poem, Amanda honors the migrants, slaves and others who have died in disasters at sea.
