REORGANIZATION

Each clue answer is a trigram. These trigrams can be ordered to spell a quotation with the enumeration given at the top of the puzzle.

 

                The world does not need words. It articulates itself

                In sunlight, leaves and shadows.

 

These lines come from the poem “Words” by Dana Gioia. Ordering the clues by trigram order spells, acrostically, this message:

 

                THE POET HEADS THIS GOVT ORG

 

Dana Gioia is the head of the NEA.

 

NEA is the correct answer to this puzzle.
