Poems to Navigate Home

At this reading, a collective of poets from the Coastal South will share their work concerning what it means to be a poet at home, a poet searching for home, or a poet returning home in 2024, when home is subject to rampant environmental and social injustices and their consequential economic, political, health, and climate crises. 

Readers will share poetry and meditations upon various and changing concepts of and relationships with the people, places, and states they call home, exploring displacement and the loss of home, questioning whether it is ever possible to leave home, and demonstrating how a poem might bring one home, how a poem can be a home.
