What role can poetry play in times of political and social turmoil?

This hour, we’re joined by Connecticut-based poets who will share how their work challenges dominant narratives and amplifies voices from the margins.

They’re part of a Ridgefield, Connecticut-based festival called “Poetry in the Garden.” This year, the festival will mark its fifth year with a series of poetry-filled evenings featuring the work of Indigenous, immigrant, LGBTQ+, and Black poets.

GUESTS:

Barb Jennes: Director of Poetry in the Garden at Keeler Tavern Museum, Ridgefield’s Poet Laureate Emerita from 2020-2023
Joan Kwon Glass: Korean American poet, author of poetry collection: “Daughter of Three Gone Kingdoms”
