Best of the Year [1]

Poetry [2]
1.5.16

The end of the year is often accompanied by the practice of looking back at the previous twelve months and drawing up “Best of” lists: best moments [3], best books [4], best songs [5]. As the new year kicks off, browse through some 2015 lists and jot down words, phrases, and notes about the themes in popular songs and books. Then write a poem that encapsulates the spirit of the music and literature recognized in 2015.
