And then I want to just end tonight
with one more poem from Dear America.
Listen, it's one of the great, deep, and meaningful pleasures
of my life to be part of Team Terrain
and to be able to call someone like Simmons Bunton friend.
And Dear America was the first very special project
that I was involved in.
And it's clear to me that Tyler understands
how special Simmons and Terrain.org is,
judging by what he said earlier and how he said it.
But Simmons is, he's not just a visionary.
I mean, there are other visionaries
out there, Elon Musk.
But Simmons has this just beautiful humanity
that is part of his vision.
And not just in starting Terrain.org, but then
in leading us.
He and Alison Deming really led us
into this project, the Letter to America project.
Julie, it was great to hear you read those beautiful epistolary
poems.
And that was a lot of the nature of what's
in this Dear America letters of habitat,
hope, defiance, and democracy.
But in 2016, in November of 2016,
Terrain.org evolved and, for four years,
collected some of the most compelling writing,
works of resistance, works of resilience,
and works of togethering.
I mean, this is equipment, this book is equipment
for living in the kind of culture
that we have been living in since that time
and that we'll be living in again
here as we approach this election.
