Poetry, Place and Politics: Readings and Moderated Discussion
How do poets and their poetry intervene into discussions and activism related to the politics of place? How might poetry enrich our understanding of place, politics and the ways in which they might intertwine? This free event will feature several poets whose poetry addresses these questions. It will involve a brief reading by each poet, followed by a guided discussion. Come and experience a variety of ways in which poets and poetry can activate our minds and urge us to think and act in new ways when navigating our present most perilous times.
Participants include: Kaie Kellough, Deanna Smith and Marilou Craft with moderation by Prof. Amber Rose Johnson
