Poem Up at Vox Populi

Posted on June 6, 2018 by robert okaji

My poem, “The Question is Never,” is up at Vox Populi, and has been paired with Allison Skinner’s essay on the psychological effects of dehumanizing language. Thank you, Michael Simms, for taking this poem.

Congrats, Bob.

We live in troubled times, where fear is sometimes founded, while dehumanizing others (as referenced in Allison Skinner’s article) often results in that fear

  And of course there are those who take advantage of this fear, or who actively stoke it, knowing they’ll profit from doing so.
