DESCRIPTION:Poetry has a unique ability to illuminate the ways public life
  shapes our private lives\, revealing the human experience beneath headlin
 es\, policies\, and ideologies..\nhttps://grlc.libnet.info/event/16873399
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>In this session\, we will explore poems th
 at engage with society and politics through observation\, personal experie
 nce\, memory\, and metaphor. Rather than treating poetry as a debate or ma
 nifesto\, we will consider how poets examine power\, justice\, identity\, 
 community\, inequality\, belonging\, and resistance by focusing on the liv
 ed realities these forces create.</p>\n<p><strong>Writing Challenge</stron
 g></p>\n<p>Write a poem that explores a social or political issue through 
 a single\, specific moment rather than a broad statement. Focus on an imag
 e\, encounter\, place\, memory\, or object that hints at a larger system o
 r question. Allow the wider context to emerge through detail\, voice\, and
  implication rather than explanation.</p>\n<p><strong>Ask yourself:</stron
 g></p>\n<p>What larger issue is visible within this small moment?<br />Who
  holds power here\, and how is it expressed?<br />What question does this 
 moment leave the reader with?</p>\n<p><br />(Length: no restrictions\; for
 m open.)</p>\nhttps://grlc.libnet.info/event/16873399
