In a series of events over the course of 3 months, WordXWord is asking poets of any age, style, or experience to apply their creative energy to three fraught words - diversity, equity, and inclusion. Obviously these words have a wide range of applications other than the uses currently under pressure. The first event in the series is DIVERSITY on April 8. This is your invitation to help celebrate DIVERSITY.
Poets interested in adding their voice to the conversation can find out more here.
diversity (noun)

1. the condition of having or being composed of differing elements : variety
2. an instance of being composed of differing elements or qualities : an instance of being diverse
What is 30/30 Poetry Challenge: April is National Poetry Month. WordXWord celebrates by throwing out a month long challenge that asks you to take your mind to the poetry gym everyday for a month. Think of it as a puzzle, a game, some silliness, and - with a little luck - some art. Perhaps your brain will grow 2 sizes if you make the commitment. Find out more at 3030Poetry.com.
