Light kisses the top cliffs in the Grand Canyon

Darcy Allen

Executive Support Director

Greek amphoras for wine or oil, / Hopi vases that held corn, are put in museums / but you know they were made to be used. / The pitcher cries for water to carry / and a person for work that is real.

— Marge Piercy
