Now Featuring Kathleen Flenniken<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“I love going to poetry to walk in someone else\u2019s shoes, to try on someone else\u2019s life and see what that feels like. It\u2019s a way of learning about the world that I would never otherwise know. Those poems, those books, need to keep being written so that we can learn and remember empathy. If we could just try to keep talking to each other\u2014what worries me is when we be\u0002come so polarized that we stop talking to each other. I think art of all kinds is essential to keeping those conversations going\u2014poetry and also music and art help us describe what it\u2019s like to be alive. I do think that builds empathy and we\u2019re sorely missing that right now.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
