Poets are Invited to Resilience:
The Poet's Response to These Troubled Times.
​
RESILIENCE: Our inaugural poetry residency
takes place in May 19-25, and will feature
poets writing through the lens of 'resilience,'
in response to the national and global crises that are dominating the information and social platforms, and much of our collective thought. Our Poet-In-Residence will be Fulbright Scholar and recipient of The Academy of American Poets Prize, Matthew Rotando, whose work is described as an 'unapologetically joyous prescription for wonder.'
