DESCRIPTION:Poets and editor Sharon Darrow will be reading from “The Country in the Mirror: Poems of Protest & Witness\,” published by Rootstock Publishing. \n“Including nearly ninety poets from across the United States and Canada\, The Country in the Mirror: Poems of Protest & Witness is an urgent anthology of poems written in response to these troubling times. It is comprised of a variety of voices\, from new writers to well-seasoned poets who are widely published and celebrated\, such as Martín Espada\, Nikki Grimes\, Rachel Hadas\, Gregory Maguire\, Bianca Stone\, among others. The poems explore a myriad of issues related to immigration\, detention\, civil rights\, climate change\, rising fascism\, global wars\, genocide\, abortion\, LGBTQIA+ experiences and more. \nThis collection holds a mirror to our diversity\, our freedom of expression\, and our collective humanity to remind us of the liberties we have as Americans\, and to caution of their loss.”
