Adjunct Justice

A blog to talk not only about adjunct faculty, but also to discuss all adjunct in society, whether adjunct faculty, students, DREAMers, undocumented, intellectual and low wage workers, and refugees, including families around the world. This crisis, however, is most noticeable coming from Mexico and Central America. These are our neighbors, our friends. As adjunct faculty, we may one day be teaching these students. Besides, if we were in their shoes, wouldn't we want them to take care of us?

Let Us Celebrate Anew a Happy 4th of July: Edifice of Gold / Edificio en Oro

These poems I have published in several places now, but I would like to share them with you here to show you all that though our freedoms are presently threatened in this "land of the free & the brave," people -- asylum seekers from across the world -- still seek this land, even with all its threats to our liberties.

We need to fight for them, for our future, as we remember the words,

"Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore."
