“Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.”
—Martin Luther King Jr.
Join us this MLK weekend for a poetry write-in in memory of poet, mother, and legal observer Renee Nicole Good, and against ICE. Together, we will…
- Read Good’s award-winning poem and discuss the tension she feels between reality and wonder
- Consider how poetry can be a site of witness and resistance
- Write to creative prompts to respond to the recent and ongoing state-sanctioned violence in Minnesota, Venezuela, and elsewhere
- Answer Martin Luther King’s still-vital question, “Will we be extremists for hate or for love? Will we be extremists for the preservation of injustice or for the extension of justice?”
