PoetryLife 2022 features poets Carolyn Forché and Pádraig Ó Tuama offering a critical reflection of our present day world. As poets gifted with the clear-eyed ability to observe reality, they are in a unique position to address the troubling move toward censorship, including banning of books in schools and libraries. As poets they serve as the vanguard of intellectual freedom, drawing out the truth in words that touch both our hearts and minds. Their discussion will be moderated by award-winning journalist, Charlayne Hunter-Gault.
Books by the poets and moderator are available for purchase below.
