An hour-long Craft Talk in which poet Camonghne Felix reflects on the poetic principles that shape radical political moments, departing from her book Let the Poets Govern. Felix, a National Book Award Finalist, poet, essayist and former political communications strategist, has spent the past decade at the center of American politics in strategy, communications and speechwriting. Her book argues that Black radical poetic traditions model an ethical code and overcome entrenched structures of patriarchy and paternalism. The talk takes place in Kray Hall and is also streamed on Zoom; a suggested donation of $10 benefits Poets House, with all welcome and no one turned away for lack of funds.
