Father’s Day Feature: Honoring the late Joseph Thomas Baker
On this Father’s Day, Dandelion Scribes presents a special tribute to the late Joseph Thomas Baker of Kentucky. Since his passing in 2011, the treasure trove of poetry he left behind has kept his memory alive in his family’s hearts. Read five poems authored by Joseph, with titles selected by his daughter Allison— and perhaps you’ll even be inspired to write a little something of your own. All photos courtesy of Allison Baker.
POEMS FOR THE REVOLUTION
Dandelion Scribes presents a selection of 26 POEMS FOR THE REVOLUTION by 16 revolutionary poets. This brave & beautiful multitude of voices is united in our collective battle cry, harmonized in our shared quest to forge a future defined by freedom, justice, and radical love. We advocate for the liberation of all people—from mind to body to spirit and beyond. And we are strengthened by each other’s courage to name our experiences, embody empathy, and cast a critical eye on the corruption we witness in our world. As scribes, words are our superpower. We are here, and we are not holding back! Cover photo by Stephen Phillips.
