It’s been hard for me to move on after the election. I’ve been languishing in think pieces, news tickers, and an overwhelming sense of dread about the future. These songs, and the great poems in December’s issue, have helped quell the noise. Some fight tunes, and write tunes. A little jazz, hip hop, soul, blues, and oddly, Fleetwood Mac.
