The Split This Rock Festival in Washington, DC is coming up (March 27-30, 2014). Please note that the featured readings are free and open to the public (no registration required). If you are interested in the workshop \”Poetic Strategies for Change\” –connecting poetry to social justice action–do register for the festival.
The line up of poets is really amazing. Sadly, I\’ll be in Portland, Oregon for a different conference otherwise I would do my best to attend.
If you have admired the work of: Joy Harjo, a favorite of mine; Eduardo C. Corral; Yusef Komunyakaa; Myra Sklarew and many others, then get yourself to the events.
