Poems of Fire & Tenderness 

How can a political poem also be a love poem? How can a poem of fiery outrage be, at the same time, a poem of tenderness? In this generative session we’ll take a look at four examples that manage to offer both care and ferocity while responding to recent/ongoing injustices. In between reading and discussing each model poem, we’ll do some writing of our own (prompts will be provided). And there will be time toward the end of the session for a Q&A and any (totally optional) sharing of work generated during our time together.

More details to come.
