Exploring New Beginnings: Amanda Larson’s “January First” Captures the Promise and Reflection of a Fresh Year
January has always held a special place in the human imagination. It is a month that marks both an ending and a beginning, a moment to reflect on the past while looking forward to the possibilities ahead. In her poem “January First,” Amanda Larson encapsulates this duality with remarkable grace, offering readers a meditation on time, renewal, and the quiet, often unspoken emotions that accompany the start of a new year.
