Much of today’s poetry is motivated by anger and despair about the direction of this country. Four editors from the anthology Winter in America (Again: Poets Respond to 2024 Election, presently on a U.S.-Canadian tour, discuss the value of reflective rather than reactive language. Their anthologia, “a gathering of flowers,” assembled between election day and inauguration day, represents the struggle to be inclusive of diverse aesthetics. They will each choose a poem from the anthology and discuss what they are looking for in the sequel. This workshop will also help for entries to the ASPS Annual Contest category Winter in America.
