This work is an amalgam of the original poem, The New Colossus, as well as contemporary contributions to the American Jewish Historical Society’s Emma Lazarus Project and Poetry Contest. The first additional poem, Liberty Enlightening, speaks from the voice of Emma Lazarus as if she were alive today to see the current state of affairs for immigrants seeking refuge in our borders. The second poem, Star Colossus, brings to life the voice of Lady Liberty. She acknowledges the struggles that face liberty and freedom today, and also offers up the invitation: “If you are not welcome in the new world, you are still welcome in the sky with me.”
