Kansas poet Cheryl Seely Savage was recently published in Kansas! magazine for their final issue celebrating their 80th anniversary year. In her words:
“I’m absolutely honored to be in the final 80th anniversary celebratory issue of Kansas! (magazine). When I was asked to write a poem entitled “The Spirit of Kansas,” I knew I had to include as many historical aspects of Kansas as I could. I wanted to pay homage to all the creatures and people who have lived in and loved this land. I needed to recognize indigenous displacement as well as immigrant farming. I felt compelled to mention the ancient sea that covered most of the plains, as well as the ingenuity of wind farming. Kansas truly does ‘honor the grit’ and I feel so privileged to live in this beautiful, historical, continuously motivated ‘fly-over’ state!”
