WordXWord is inviting poets of any ilk to apply their creative energy to slicing and dicing Education in America. From inside institutions, or from outside in the “real” world, we’re looking to get an ear full. Everything is fair game – public education, home school, K-12, college, or the lessons that life drops on us.
Education in America was our very first Poets Creating Conversation event held on February 26, 2018 – twelve days after the Parkland school shooting. You can imagine how that event shaped our event. We quickly learned that there is no predicting how the outside world and/or which life experiences and challenges will insert themselves into the conversation. That’s the magic sauce that makes PCC work. We look to create a cauldron and invite you to jump in.
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.
