Love and Happiness as Revolution: Raina León Poetry Reading/Q & A and Workshop

Audre Lorde once wrote: “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” In this reading and workshop, poet and educator Dr. Raina J. León will offer a short selection of poetry that focuses on joy, life, and birth as a political act. She will read new poems, offer a Q&A, and then provide generative writing prompts that focus on generational joy, lineage, and legacy.
