Language can be a powerful weapon in the fight for social justice. Join three poets as they discuss the power of words. Otherwhere: New and Selected Poems, 1976-2026 is Carolyn Forché at her best, one of poetry’s most powerful voices uplifted in moral conviction and bearing witness. Daniel Moysaenko wrestles with war and its brutal, ongoing aftermath in Ukraine in Overtakelessness: Poems, where fragments of Soviet records, pieces of Zoom calls, and news of bombings inform the text. And Horses: Poems by Navajo Nation Poet Laureate Jake Skeets meditates on the death of two hundred horses found mired in mud, and goes on to explore our duty to the natural world, especially as our world changes. Moderating is Nadra Mabrouk, senior content editor of the Academy of American Poets.
