Caught in a Wewoka Switch?: Poetry to Empower in Oklahoma

How are poets in Oklahoma using poetry to serve diverse, marginalized communities outside of the usual channels and to effect positive social changes in a state that consistently ranks quite low in terms of socio-economic indicators and that continues to pass some of the most regressive legislation in the US? This roundtable will feature poets working with collectives, on radio shows, on immigration issues, and in archives, public schools, and prisons. They will discuss their paths, methods, outcomes, insights, and future plans as well as read related work.
