Portland Book Festival Pop-Up Reading

The Poetics of Rage & Reverence: Conversation (virtual) with Elizabeth Jarrett Andrew

In Charity E. Yoro’s new collection, ten cent flower & other territories, the raw materials of rage and reverence become poems. How does writing help Yoro gaze unwaveringly at our world of destruction and generosity, ignorance and beauty, colonialism and holiness? And how might her poems help us love this paradoxical world too? Join Charity Yoro and Elizabeth Jarrett Andrew for a conversation on writing as a transformational practice.
