What if France asked for the Statue of Liberty back—and she answered?
A French Member of Parliament did just that, reminding Turmp's America the gift was made in recognition of its founding ideals.
The poem, The New Colossus – 2025, is the Statue’s reply: anguished, born of a world turning its back on promise. It anchors Waking the Fires—a keepsake of thirty poems, each paired with original full-colour art, recitals, short films, and greeting cards.
