Poems for a Better Nation [Kim Stafford]

All Levels. What is a poet’s work in strange times? How can words most matter for nation and Earth? As poet Dennis Lee once said, we need to “Work as if in the early days of a better nation.” In this workshop, we will read and write poems that seed the future with truth and challenge, from outright political poems to more oblique contributions to a better nation—songs of a patriot (or matriot loyal to home ground), manifestos, consolations, & blessings.
