Poems for the Longest Night

When we talk about darkness, endurance, vigil, and the coming of light, we begin to find our feet treading upon paths well-worn, not only by athletes, but by storytellers and artists.
Leading up to this year’s Longest Night, we’ve been adding weekly poetry to our social feeds, poems speaking of darkness and making our way in the midst of it. Here are the poems we’ve read.
 
Thanks to our readers for their contributions, and to these poets for helping guide our exploration into the the darkness of the Longest Night.
