What Saves Us: Poems of Empathy and Outrage in the Age of TrumpThis is an anthology of poems in the Age of Trump and much more than Trump. These are poems that either embody or express a sense of empathy or outrage, both prior to and following his election, since it is empathy the president lacks and outrage he provokes. There is an extraordinary diversity of voices here. The ninety three poets featured include Elizabeth Alexander, Julia Alvarez, Richard Blanco, Carolyn Forch , Aracelis Girmay, Donald Hall, Juan

This is an anthology of poems in the Age of Trump--and much more than Trump. These are poems that either embody or express a sense of empathy or outrage, both prior to and following his election, since it is empathy the president lacks and outrage he provokes.

There is an extraordinary diversity of voices here. The ninety-three poets featured include Elizabeth Alexander, Julia Alvarez, Richard Blanco, Carolyn Forch , Aracelis Girmay, Donald Hall, Juan Felipe Herrera, Yusef Komunyakaa, Naomi Shihab Nye, Marge Piercy, Robert Pinsky, Danez Smith, Patricia Smith, Brian Turner, Ocean Vuong, Bruce Weigl, and Eleanor Wilner. They speak of persecuted and scapegoated immigrants. They bear witness to violence: police brutality against African Americans, mass shootings in a school or synagogue, the rage inflicted on women everywhere. They testify to poverty: the waitress surviving on leftovers at the restaurant, the battles of a teacher in a shelter for homeless mothers, the emergency-room doctor listening to the heartbeats of his patients. There are voices of labor, in the factory and the fields. There are prophetic voices, imploring us to imagine the world we will leave behind in ruins lest we speak and act.

However, this is not merely a collection of grievances. The poets build bridges. One poet steps up to translate in Arabic at the airport; another walks through the city and sees her immigrant past in the immigrant present; another declaims a musical manifesto after the hurricane that devastated his island; another evokes a demonstration in the street, shouting in an ecstasy of defiance. The poets take back the language, resisting the demagogic corruption of words themselves. They assert our common humanity in the face of dehumanization.

Perfect fit, solved steering pump noise
Installed this o-ring kit on a 2009 Honda Odyssey. The steering pump was making noise and you could see bubbles in the fluid revivor when the engine was idling indicating a potential air leak from where the hoses attach to the pump. The most difficult part was finding the right 10mm wrench that would allow me to access the lower hose mounting bolt without removing the belt or pump pulley. I wound up taking an old wrench, heated it with a torch, and bent it in a vice to get the right fit. I did order a ratcheting, flex head wrench but while waiting for it to be delivered I was able to make something work. Overall, the o-ring kit worked great, the o-rings seem high quality and this fixed my issue. If you don't already have some, make sure to order the power steering fluid required for Asian/Honda vehicles when you order these o-rings.

No issues
Great aftermarket o ring. If for whatever reason OEM isn’t possible, these o rings will work perfectly fine. Had no issues installing into power steering system. Still would recommend Honda o rings if you can because they are also cheap.
