The following excerpt is from Adrienne Rich's poem "Dreams before Waking" (1983).This poem is a starting point for the vision board you will create in Activity 7-B-1.
What would it mean to live
in a city whose people were changing
each other's despair into hope? --
You yourself must change it. --
what would it feel like to know
your country was changing? --
You yourself must change it. --
Though your life felt arduous
new and unmapped and strange
what would it mean to stand on the first
page to the end of despair?
