This session will feature the internationally lauded poet Marie-Célie Agnant (former Canadian Parliamentary Poet Laureate) in conversation with Danielle Legros Georges (former Boston Poet Laureate). The writers will discuss the riveting work that appears in the newly released anthology Blue Flare, written from the standpoints of 21st century Haitian, Caribbean and African diasporic women. Join this dynamic conversation by award-winning Haitian and American women committed to literary and cultural works that reveal, dream, instigate interrogations, express deep commitments to questions of ethics, occupy crossroads, and mine intersections. Sponsored by Mass Poetry.
