Gregg Chadwick Still I Rise 40"x30" oil on linen 2017 "From all this, my friends, there arises an insight which the poet must learn through other people. There is no insurmountable solitude.

I also remember that with millions of others, I marched on January 21, 2017 in the #WomensMarch. Our crowd in L...
