Not for the faint of heart, Poets Creating Conversation throws out a single word/idea and asks poets to circle around. The results defy expectations!
Equal parts art and community, WordXWord is where words go to be heard. Poets Creating Conversation is an ongoing series of events that challenges poets (and soon-to-be-poets!) to circle loosely around a theme or issue in the current social discourse to create a broad, multi-dimensional “conversation” between poems, poets, and audience.
