Poetry Lesson a la Funk: Building tension before the line breaks...

One of the most interesting geopolitical analysts that I watch consistently is Ben Norton, who has just moved to China to better understand international economies and to get a fuller understanding of a nation that pulled 800 million people out of poverty in 2 generations.

This is a fellowship that changed my life and has done an incredible amount to change the face of American poetry. Now, Black poets, is the time to send in your application if you want to be a part of this ever expanding circle...

If you're looking to work for a dynamic, growing organization at the heart of cultural and literary change, give us a call!
