Award Winning Biographical Poetry - The Life of Minik Wallace
Rich Kern
This work (song lyrics) is published as poetry in the September 2024 issue of The Miserere Review. (Page 16/17). It is about the real-life story of Minik Wallace who was brought to the U.S. from Greenland in 1897 as a six year old boy. Ultimately he became an orphan and struggled to find his place of belonging well into his adulthood.
His story is echoed by many people from many cultures, who were each affected by the race to claim the North Pole. Writers have the power to help others think and feel things in new ways. And I believe there are times where it should be executed with great intention. In this case, it is about confronting the mistakes of the past and keeping them real for an audience today.
